The scene that stays with me was the end of his funeral. His coffin was placed in a train and filmed from above so you saw the steam blowing as the train chuffed out of London to go to Bladon. As the train passed the London docks every crane dipped to honour him. Very moving.
I am an American and Winston Churchill is someone I greatly admire. It also makes me feel good to know that he was very proud of his American heritage. It was something special to him. The man is a giant of history.
0. It seems this country has forgotten what this man did for us,and look at britain now,weak,easily worked,high immigration,the laughing stock of the world.God!! Do we need someone of his stature now!! Respect for Winston,he'll be turning in his grave now.
People misunderstand Churchill and think he was some kind of Engerlund Engerlund Engerlund gammon Brexiteer. Absolutely not. Churchill was very pro-Europe and would have been in favour of things like the EEC if he'd been alive to see it. His image was also hijacked by the BNP who totally misportrayed him and he wouldn't even have been eligible to join the BNP even if he somehow wanted to. It was only really under David Cameron that there was serious Euroscepticism in the Conservative Party. Cameron didn't have the spine to keep those people in their box, hence the mess we're in now. He also rolled over for Alex Salmond and again there were consequences for that. The Conservatives have always been pro-Europe under Churchill, Thatcher, Major (and he put it on steroids), Cameron and Osborne also campaigned for remain in 2016 and lost their own jobs as a result, Theresa May was also pro-EU but had to drink from the poisoned chalice left out for her.
A fabulous tribute to the man who helped us through WW2 and molded together the future for us. If it wasn't for this man, we wouldn't have had the freedom we ended up getting. I'd be shocked to think of his reaction to today's government. He was a one-off and there'll never, ever be another like him. Goodbye Mr Churchill, you're still sorely missed ❤ 😊
What a life lived. An absolute Titan of a man in relation to our freedom that we so enjoy. During the toughest of times his leadership was truly incredible. Great video Paul. 🇬🇧
In my view Churchill was the right man at the right time. We as a nation were extremely lucky to have him in such dangerous times. I was lucky enough to visit his resting place a few years ago, it's a lovely place and very accessible. Nice video Paul, thank you Winston Churchill you done good !
He did index .. despite him being “ controversial “ c a dozen times 🙄. If k ok soul had done his homework, and he patently hadn’t , he would know a lot of what gets said is BS actually. He wasn’t even entirely a “ product of his time @ but was ahead in so many things . Btw - he was SIR Winston to us mortals - its important.! This vid def not “your finest hour” ( intended) Paul I’m afraid, for “ the greatest Britain “. 🙄.
Hi Paul, thanks again for an excellent post. A couple of Saturdays after Sir Winston Churchill was buried, my parents and grandparents took me to visit his grave in Bladon churchyard. So many people felt the need to pay their respects to him, that cars were being parked in farmers’ fields over a mile away from the church. I was only a lad of fourteen, and it was wintertime, but I didn’t mind queuing for what seemed ages. Somehow we were doing what was necessary. Many years later I was driving a van through Bladon, and stopped to have my sandwiches by the church. It was so peaceful. He was still there.
I can remember his funeral like it was yesterday. I was 7 years old siting on a table cross legged watching it on the cossor black & white T.V, its just stuck in my mind.
Sadly the current crop of politicians are not even fit to be trodden under his soles , and are only substances that he would have scraped off in disdain .
I vaguely remember seeing his funeral on TV. He was a great leader and we could do with him today. A very fitting resting place for him. There’s nothing like a beautiful, English churchyard and churches.
Appart from maybe Margaret thatcher..hence her nickname..the iron lady...she wasn't afraid to speak her mind and put people in their place..r.i.p Maggie
Churchill and Thatcher were the _only_ former Prime Ministers where the late Queen personally attended their funerals. None of the other former PMs had any royal attendance at their funerals whatsoever.
I’ve been to the Churchill war rooms in London, And I’ve been to the beaches of Normandy in France He was the leader the world needed at the time to bring everything together. I still find it hilarious his phone back to my side of the ocean here in the USA, was disguised as his own personal toilet Definitely one of the worlds greatest men of the 20th Century, great video I just found out yesterday, one of my great uncle’s I never met, was one of the many Americans 🇺🇸 that stormed the Beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944
Such a beautiful peaceful place for his final resting place along with his adored wife “Clemny” and surrounded by his parents and other family members. I can remember as a child what a great impression he had made on the country with his latter contributions, and support of the Queen. I was just ten years old when he died, and sobbed my heart out watching his funeral on our little black and white tv. Even at that age I recognised someone great had passed on. We could do with his like again, but fear we never will. It’s nice that there is also a memorial in St Paul’s where his funeral took place, and can well imagine people being surprised that he is actually here in this beautiful little country churchyard. I know which I would choose given a choice too! Thankyou for all the research Paul..I didn’t know he died the same date as his father ! And Thankyou for taking us on another peaceful,picturesque resting place of an individual who made a mark in our lives. Drive carefully and stay safe! Love Helen in Norfolk. 🙋♀️💕😘🦋🦋👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Went to visit his grave last year, took a couple of foreign students, who wanted to see where he was laid to rest. Imagine there surprise, when the came up to that small beautiful churchyard, the asked why was he there, instead of his family home. I couldn't answer them really, but I think it's a beautiful place to be buried, and very very English. Perfect for him.
The parish of Bladon contains Blenheim Palace, and generations of Spencer-Churchills are buried in St Martin's churchyard. Churchill could have been buried in Westminster Abbey, but he preferred the simplicity of St Martin's, near his birthplace of Blenheim Palace. It was the 4 duke of Marlborough that had the church pull down and rebuilt. Also Churchill was only a cousin of the Marlborough’s and his Mum went into labour at a party at Blenheim. Hope this helps answers why ❤
@@gilltagg3352 think there is some sort of memorial to him in Westminster Abbey in the floor just as you go in the entrance door as saw it on the Queen's funeral coverage recently
@@annieanonymous611 Yes, you are right. There is a memorial stone to him. It was dedicated to him in 1965. It is a green marble stone, close to the Grave of the Unknown Warrior and was unveiled by HM The Queen on the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
A great tribute to the man who led us to victory during WW2 and kept the competition off our backs. A 20th century icon and a legend of British history. Thanks Mr Churchill 😊
That is simply not true. Churchill begged for help many times from USA until finally they were brought into the war. Without help from USA who travelled thousands of miles to help. We'd have been speaking German. Your comments are ignorant. For the record....Churchill was ready to surrender. After defeat after defeat etc etc Britain was on its knees. He changed his mind. It's that simple. Know your history. Ps I'm not German, as my name is historical, like many throughout history, who were born and live in the British Isles.
At the age if 15 my parents, both of whom were in the Air Force during the war, took me to attend the laying in State for this amazing man. I will never forget taking the day off school.
Thank you Paul - a super super vlog of my all time favourite Briton ( maybe now equalled by Queen Elizabeth II). I love Churchill, I love what he did for our country, but I also love that he was human - flawed, depressive and so on. He was the most special man. Y’know when you have that conversation on who you’d have to your ‘you can choose anybody’ to a dinner party - top of my list is always Winston. The greatest man - to whom we all hold a debt of gratitude. Saving this vlog Paul - one of my favourites - thank you 👌👍
CHURCHILL THE MAN WAS A LEGEND , WOW, AMAZING THK YOU FOR THIS VLOG PAUL , TRUELY WAS WONDERING ABOUT HIM , AND NOW HE IT IS , RIP WINSTON CHURCHILL 🙏💔🇬🇧
A very controversial man, full of fight, spirit. Wow such a peaceful and beautiful place for him to rest. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to see where The Man himself is.
Totally agree with the comments below, this guy is needed now but what a leader. Visited his war room in Westminster in August. Its something all should see. Great video again Paul 👏
Can't wait,I have great respect for Winston Churchill, a great leader during the 2nd World War,he was the right person at the right time ,his speeches were and are inspirational !!!!!!!!!!!🤗🇬🇧
That's interesting so am i through my mother's blood line. My mother's maiden name is Tattersall. A few years ago, i was on the internet and stumbled upon some information that said that winston Churchill is one of the great grandsons of Baron Robert de Tattersall who was called to parliament and made a Baron. He loyally rode along side king henry III, in a war against the welsh rebels. Before that the de tattershalls originally came over to England around or just after 1066. This ties in with William The Conquerer who had two loyal companions that had come over to England with him in the autumn of 1066. One of the loyal companions was Eudo, who was descended from the de tattershalls. Tattershall Castle is in the village of Tattershall, Lincolnshire. William The Conquerer had given Lincolnshire to Eudo. Also, the Spencer family are also related to Baron Robert de Tattershall like Winston Churchill. In the information that i read about people related to Baron Robert de tattershall i read that Princess Diana was the 19th great grand daughter of Baron Robert De Tattershall. There are websites on the internet about Tattershall Castle and it is a functioning castle, where talks are given in the castle about it's history and about the the De Tattershalls. The castle is now owned by The National Trust.
Wow, what a beautiful church. Shame it wasn’t open as stated. I love wandering all those very old graves in these lovely church yards too, it makes you wonder about the stories of these people you pass in their resting places. So peaceful and interesting. Very informative video Paul thank you. Given me much more information about him than I knew. Beautiful grave stone. Cheers.
Respect to churchhill my mum told me about churchhill she liked him as prime minister didn't know anything about him only what mum told me she was born in 1926 but sadly died in 2017 thank you Paul for such an amazing video thank you to Winston Churchill a great man ❤️
Just catching up with your videos! Amazing! I think his speeches and voice still resonates, he gave hope to people when this country faced it worst moments…..a man of his time and a hero! If you visit the house he lived at in Kent near the end of his life….you learn about a different man, a family man , artist and writer.
I 100 % agree with you Paul, where would we be if not for that great Man, all is hard work and so many lost there lives, fighting to keep our country safe, and to give us a better future, it would seem that they have thrown that all away, such a shame, a great video as always, keep it up, you are doing a brilliant job, 👍
brilliant video Paul, I remember as a teenager watching his funeral on B&W tv and will never forget when his coffin traveled down the Thames and all the dockside cranes lowered their jibs. Many years later I traveled on the Orient Express from Victoria to Winchester in the carriage that carried his coffin , I think it was called Lydia. Keep 'em coming mate.
The right leader at the right time ..Thank you Paul for a very respectful presentation of a truly Great Man who never surrendered.. and helped give us the freedom we have today ..
The late Queens first UK Prime Minister. I lived in South Africa for two years. Literally a field away from where Winston was captured by the Boers in the Armoured Train incident. That was during Boer War.
Great video for a great man and leader, I was 10 when his funeral took place and I still vividly remember his coffin travelling down the Thames thanks Paul for another well thought out and produced video, cheers mate.
Thank you doing this one. I will never get a chance to visit due to disability. My grandmothers line was related to Churchill through his mother. I have family stories through a member of the family who was able to do genealogy while family members who got to know him were still alive. I get to learn about him through what I read, etc. Thank you so much again and keep up the awesome videos.
Thank you Paul, another great video and for this wonderful man. Some of course would argue that he wasn’t a great peace time prime minister, but that’s for the individual to decide based on history. Let us not forget that many years ago now, long after his death, he was voted by the public as “the greatest ever Britain”
It’s thanks to his leadership that we have our freedoms today and people should remember that no one is perfect but he done his duty to king and country and no one can take that away RIP GREAT MAN
Great video Paul, respectful as always...🙏... I was lucky enough to visit Chartwell, Churchills home, just before lockdown.... Stunning, def worth a visit if you get a chance x
Hi Brilliant job again Paul ,many thanks for visiting Sir Winston Churchill as I suggested him to you, I'm looking forward to many more,,, once again great job 👍
Yes Churhill was a great leader but it must be remembered it was also the tenacity of the British people that helped as well the masses of men and women that stepped up to the plate great video Paul thankyou.
If it wasn't for Sir Winston Churchill we would all be speaking German Nazis. I wish we had a leader like to today. Another great video Paul as always! All the best. Steven.
Hi Paul. Another great video done with respect as always. He was a great man. We owe him and all those who gave their lives for us. We need a leader like him again. Now.
Oh Paul that was a lovely one, I remember I was about seven we lived on the isle of dogs opposite Greenwich, they took he’s body down the river right past were we lived, I’ve never forgot it I said to my dad who’s that he said a very great man he saved us all. I now live in chingford and in Woodford there is a massive monument just past the roundabout, as he was the m.p. for woodford at one stage.
Hi Paul, Thank you for another post. This man to me stands out for his great speeches, huge cigars, and status amongst world leaders during the war. I was 14 when he died, so history book's were really the source of information on his life. Just a point made in your viewer's comment's was he had a quick wit, which leads me to think smoking huge cigars and even larger brandies had a very low risk factor compared to someone trying to shoot you. The fact he lived to 91 supports this thinking.
I remember Winston Churchill I was very young then. But I always thought he looked like my grandfather. They were so alike. When grandad wore his trilby and used to sit outside painting his pictures.. with his friends. God bless them both. Rest in peace. Xx
God bless you Paul thank u so much for sharing this I wish this man and great leader was here he was a ledgend god bless w Winston Churchill one of our warriors x
This has baffled me wow Paul I was told along time ago that he was laid to rest in St Paul’s Cathedral !!¡ … thanks Paul Thais why I like you channel .
If it wasn't for Winston Churchill god know what would have happened to Britain to me he was the best prime minister..EVER.. my brother had a Staffordshire bull terrior and named him Winston after Churchill.. GOD BLESS U WINSTON 🙏 AS U SAID ..WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER..AND WE NEVER DID..
Winston Churchill was a great leader we need more like him , the world be a better place. I was born in 1965 when Churchill passing. May he rest in peace 🙏😇
WOW you’ve actually been somewhere I’ve been…my late brother took me there when I was about 12/13yrs old…he took me to Blenheim Palace and the bed he was born in…a stunning place to see if you’ve never been!!! I’ve had a deep respect for him from stories mum told me…like how he fooled our enemies in WW2 by placing cardboard cutouts of tanks positioned along the coast to make them believe we had a whole load of defence (which we didn’t really) upon when the enemies saw them all they surrendered and that was the end of the war!!! I think that was a genius move…risky to the extreme, but he pulled it off+I’m assuming won a lot of respect for doing so. After seeing where he was born, we went to that little church, but I don’t remember if we went inside+saw his grave, or not. I’m thinking maybe not as I’m sure I would remember doing so!!! I’ve never forgotten going to BP or the little church…it’s pronounced Blaydon…beautiful countryside around there too!!! X🙃❤️
9:32 Directly behind with the red flowers and greenery that's his mother Lady Jennie's grave. Next to hers in the middle with the big cross is Winston's father's, Lord Randolph's grave. On the left of his father's is his son's grave, Randolph. Not sure about the others, though.
Some years ago I visited CHARTWELL, very much a Family home of Winston and Clementine Churchill. It was a fascinating insight of Winston Churchill as a private Family man. My favourite quote by Sir Winston Churchill: “A DOG LOOKS UP TO YOU/ A CAT LOOKS DOWN AT YOU/ BUT A PIG WILL TREAT YOU AS ITS EQUAL!!... Another interesting video📹🤔
Brilliant video Paul and what a lovely church and grave yard ..I never knew that he commanded the royal Scots fusiliers..my grand uncles regiment…he was exactly what we needed to win the Second World War …I’m so thankful that he was in charge ,other wise your right Paul we would have been ruled by Germany …I will visit the graveyard the next time I visit Oxford as being in the RAF there it’s very special to me .Thankyou Paul …Best wishes
I'm an American and a huge WWII buff, Winston Churchill had some really famous speeches, the most famous was his "We shall never surrender" speech in June 1940 during the Battle of Britain. He also immediately declared war on Japan when he got word that the U.S. was attacked on Dec. 7, 1941.
1965 I was 10 and can remember we were all given the day off school to watch a black and white version of Churchills State Funeral on TV. It was only 20 yrs after Germany had surrendered and the war was fresh in people’s minds. RIP a different era for a different kind of man and politician.
Loved this video. Winston, thank you for what you did for us rip xx
The scene that stays with me was the end of his funeral. His coffin was placed in a train and filmed from above so you saw the steam blowing as the train chuffed out of London to go to Bladon. As the train passed the London docks every crane dipped to honour him. Very moving.
I am an American and Winston Churchill is someone I greatly admire. It also makes me feel good to know that he was very proud of his American heritage. It was something special to him. The man is a giant of history.
A majestic piece of British history, a man who changed or molded the future for us. May we not forget.
0. It seems this country has forgotten what this man did for us,and look at britain now,weak,easily worked,high immigration,the laughing stock of the world.God!! Do we need someone of his stature now!! Respect for Winston,he'll be turning in his grave now.

If you visit the house he lived at in Kent near the end of his life….you learn about a different man, a family man , artist and writer.
I 100 % agree with you Paul, where would we be if not for that great Man, all is hard work and so many lost there lives, fighting to keep our country safe, and to give us a better future, it would seem that they have thrown that all away, such a shame, a great video as always, keep it up, you are doing a brilliant job, 👍
brilliant video Paul, I remember as a teenager watching his funeral on B&W tv and will never forget when his coffin traveled down the Thames and all the dockside cranes lowered their jibs. Many years later I traveled on the Orient Express from Victoria to Winchester in the carriage that carried his coffin , I think it was called Lydia. Keep 'em coming mate.
A beautiful Church and Churchyard. A lovely resting place for Sir Winston Churchill. We as a country owe so much to him.
My work often takes me round this area, and I payed my respects to the man who give us the life we lead.
The right leader at the right time ..Thank you Paul for a very respectful presentation of a truly Great Man who never surrendered.. and helped give us the freedom we have today ..
The late Queens first UK Prime Minister. I lived in South Africa for two years. Literally a field away from where Winston was captured by the Boers in the Armoured Train incident. That was during Boer War.
Great video for a great man and leader, I was 10 when his funeral took place and I still vividly remember his coffin travelling down the Thames thanks Paul for another well thought out and produced video, cheers mate.
Thank you doing this one. I will never get a chance to visit due to disability. My grandmothers line was related to Churchill through his mother. I have family stories through a member of the family who was able to do genealogy while family members who got to know him were still alive. I get to learn about him through what I read, etc. Thank you so much again and keep up the awesome videos.
I often thought he was buried some where really grand. Winston Churchill was a great leader, who saved our Country.
Great episode Paul
Great fan of winston
As you said
Would this world be the one we know without his leadership
Great work 👍
How very beautiful.....Winston Churchill was in a league of his own, we have a lot to thank him for.
Rest in peace Sir Winston Churchill and lovely headstone!!
Thanks Paul for a marvellous virtual visit! Roy - South Africa
Thank you Paul for another fantastic video x
What a shame the church was locked. It looks like one near me. Thanks for another great vid Paul. 👍🏻
Thank you Paul, another great video and for this wonderful man. Some of course would argue that he wasn’t a great peace time prime minister, but that’s for the individual to decide based on history. Let us not forget that many years ago now, long after his death, he was voted by the public as “the greatest ever Britain”
It’s thanks to his leadership that we have our freedoms today and people should remember that no one is perfect but he done his duty to king and country and no one can take that away RIP GREAT MAN
Great video Paul, respectful as always...🙏... I was lucky enough to visit Chartwell, Churchills home, just before lockdown.... Stunning, def worth a visit if you get a chance x
Hi Brilliant job again Paul ,many thanks for visiting Sir Winston Churchill as I suggested him to you, I'm looking forward to many more,,, once again great job 👍
We owe this man so many Thank you's.
I never realised that he chopped and changed between the parties.
Great man we shall never see his like again , as a nation wemhave much to be grateful for, thank you for showing this
Thank you Mr. Churchill for your service and for everything you have done for us all.
such a difficult job he had to do at a difficult time, respect to him and thanks for this video paul
Amazed that he could see the danger of what was going on in Germany 5 years before the 2nd World War. A big one Paul, thanks.
Missed the premier tonight, got my days mixed up. Lovely video as always Paul, catch you next time.
A remarkable man looking forward to seeing this episode and it will be well done has all of the programmes you do are
Worst of the worst, an old Tory
Yes Churhill was a great leader but it must be remembered it was also the tenacity of the British people that helped as well the masses of men and women that stepped up to the plate great video Paul thankyou.
If it wasn't for Sir Winston Churchill we would all be speaking German Nazis.
I wish we had a leader like to today.
Another great video Paul as always!
All the best. Steven.
Hi Paul. Another great video done with respect as always. He was a great man. We owe him and all those who gave their lives for us. We need a leader like him again. Now.
This will be very interesting. Brilliant thanks Paul. Take care on your travels too 😊
Oh Paul that was a lovely one, I remember I was about seven we lived on the isle of dogs opposite Greenwich, they took he’s body down the river right past were we lived, I’ve never forgot it I said to my dad who’s that he said a very great man he saved us all. I now live in chingford and in Woodford there is a massive monument just past the roundabout, as he was the m.p. for woodford at one stage.
Thanks Paul. Great video as usual :)
Another great video. Thank you.
Hi Paul,
Thank you for another post.
This man to me stands out for his great speeches, huge cigars, and status amongst world leaders during the war.
I was 14 when he died, so history book's were really the source of information on his life.
Just a point made in your viewer's comment's was he had a quick wit, which leads me to think smoking huge cigars and even larger brandies had a very low risk factor compared to someone trying to shoot you.
The fact he lived to 91 supports this thinking.
Hi Paul. Been waiting for this one. I live down the road in Witney and pop up there at least once a year. Respect 👍
This was beautiful. Thank you! ❤
I remember Winston Churchill I was very young then. But I always thought he looked like my grandfather. They were so alike. When grandad wore his trilby and used to sit outside painting his pictures.. with his friends. God bless them both. Rest in peace. Xx
He was great leader in his time he will always be remembered for his words of wisdom 😊😊
God bless you Paul thank u so much for sharing this I wish this man and great leader was here he was a ledgend god bless w Winston Churchill one of our warriors x
A complex and interesting character to whom all Britons owe an immense debt for our life today. R.I.P Winnie. 🙏
Excellent video Paul. We owe so much to Sir Winstone Churchill
Love your videos. I’ve been looking forward to this one 😊
Thank you Ashlyn
He was a great man thanks for sharing👍👍
This has baffled me wow Paul I was told along time ago that he was laid to rest in St Paul’s Cathedral !!¡ … thanks Paul Thais why I like you channel .
If it wasn't for Winston Churchill god know what would have happened to Britain to me he was the best prime minister..EVER.. my brother had a Staffordshire bull terrior and named him Winston after Churchill.. GOD BLESS U WINSTON 🙏 AS U SAID ..WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER..AND WE NEVER DID..
Winston Churchill was a great leader we need more like him , the world be a better place. I was born in 1965 when Churchill passing. May he rest in peace 🙏😇
WOW you’ve actually been somewhere I’ve been…my late brother took me there when I was about 12/13yrs old…he took me to Blenheim Palace and the bed he was born in…a stunning place to see if you’ve never been!!! I’ve had a deep respect for him from stories mum told me…like how he fooled our enemies in WW2 by placing cardboard cutouts of tanks positioned along the coast to make them believe we had a whole load of defence (which we didn’t really) upon when the enemies saw them all they surrendered and that was the end of the war!!! I think that was a genius move…risky to the extreme, but he pulled it off+I’m assuming won a lot of respect for doing so. After seeing where he was born, we went to that little church, but I don’t remember if we went inside+saw his grave, or not. I’m thinking maybe not as I’m sure I would remember doing so!!! I’ve never forgotten going to BP or the little church…it’s pronounced Blaydon…beautiful countryside around there too!!! X🙃❤️
Thanks Paul this was an interesting walk through the graveyard,
9:32 Directly behind with the red flowers and greenery that's his mother Lady Jennie's grave. Next to hers in the middle with the big cross is Winston's father's, Lord Randolph's grave. On the left of his father's is his son's grave, Randolph. Not sure about the others, though.
Thanks paul, lovely video to a great man.Andy
beautiful, he was a great man. thank you. your very respectful Paul. love you to bits😇
Excellent Vid and information there Paul. Thanx 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved this vidio very interresting Paul thank you
Beautiful setting Paul, I reckon non of us would be here at all if it wasn't for this guy .
Some years ago I visited CHARTWELL, very much a Family home of Winston and Clementine Churchill. It was a fascinating insight of Winston Churchill as a private Family man. My favourite quote by Sir Winston Churchill: “A DOG LOOKS UP TO YOU/ A CAT LOOKS DOWN AT YOU/ BUT A PIG WILL TREAT YOU AS ITS EQUAL!!... Another interesting video📹🤔
Brilliant video Paul and what a lovely church and grave yard ..I never knew that he commanded the royal Scots fusiliers..my grand uncles regiment…he was exactly what we needed to win the Second World War …I’m so thankful that he was in charge ,other wise your right Paul we would have been ruled by Germany …I will visit the graveyard the next time I visit Oxford as being in the RAF there it’s very special to me .Thankyou Paul …Best wishes
Thank you Paul. Respect for such a great man and leader.
A man of great speaker a motivation who men would probably run through walls for 👍
Awesome content thanks 🙏
I'm an American and a huge WWII buff, Winston Churchill had some really famous speeches, the most famous was his "We shall never surrender" speech in June 1940 during the Battle of Britain. He also immediately declared war on Japan when he got word that the U.S. was attacked on Dec. 7, 1941.
1965 I was 10 and can remember we were all given the day off school to watch a black and white version of Churchills State Funeral on TV. It was only 20 yrs after Germany had surrendered and the war was fresh in people’s minds. RIP a different era for a different kind of man and politician.
Hi Paul love the video 👍looking forward to the next video 🙂
