I remember it too, when his body was put onto the boat to take up river for his funeral and all the cranes along the river on both sides bowed. Very moving.
I remember we were all gathered around the TV when the news broke. My granny cried, my grandfather and father stood to attention and I truly felt someone very special was gone.
Some people live well beyond what mere science can explain. I had a 45 year friendship with the bottle, smoked cigars for many years and was/am extremely large (although I have lost a significant amount of weight over the past 20 years). Here I sit at 79 still alive and mostly functional. I was supposed to be dead 40 years ago. I am not unscathed, having a back injury, congestive heart failure and likely having had at least one stroke. Only God can explain why people like Winston Churchill was able to have a long life and the same is true of me. RIP Winston Churchill.
It's like how some people can be heavy smokers for years and never get cancer, but some people who've never smoked a day in their life get cancer. It has to be something in a person's genetics, and to an extent perhaps a person's will to live.
Flawed character....betrayal of bomber command and air cheif Marshall after the Dresden raid that he ordered is unforgivable, to have sympathy for dead Germans was disgraceful
I was stuck in bed with the mumps, and the only program the three of our TV channels played was Churchill's funeral. And to a sick 7 year old kid, his funeral seemed to go on forever.
I think the ITN newsreader was Andrew Gardner. The state funeral was held on a Saturday (morning, I think?) so we were able to watch the television coverage of the procession from Westminster Hall to St Paul's Cathedral, tge half hour service there and the coffin being taken by boat from a nearby quayside (Tower Pier, apparently) along the Thames to the Festival Pier where it was transported to the platform in the middle of Waterloo station just opposite the vehicular archway (at the side of the station) and put on a steam train to Oxfordshire. People were dotted along the route of the railway line to pay their respects. The private committal in Bladon churchyard was not televised. It has since struck me as strange that the train went from Waterloo as trains to Oxfordshire do not go from there: it is the wrong side of London: it was probably to allow naval tributes on the river to be included.
So Churchill smoked cigars and drank copiously every day yet made it to the age of 90, and in the 1960s, before many of the advancements of modern medicine. There's hope for us all.
I remember as a child that there was a health bulletin given to the cameras by Churchill's Harley Street doctor (Lord Moran, who wore a dark overcoat and a homberg hat if I recall accurately) every day in tge street outside Churchill's town house (in Hyde Park Gate, South Kensington, near the Royal Albert Hall, it would seem) for a couple of weeks and always broadcast on the evening news programmes at 6pm and 9pm on the television and no doubt on the wireless and in the newsreels in the cinema too so no one was taken by surprise on the actual day of his death.
He is not dead. Heaven announces, Winston Churchill is now the National Father of England ❤ "Everyone loves him" - channeled message from the spirit realm
The UK is not a mess but if it were, it wouldn't be because Churchill saved the world from the depredations of the most racist and genocidally murderous regime known in all human history. It's just a pity that the achievements of this titan of freedom should be used to speak such errant nonsense.
It's a deliberate perversion of the originally Freedom oriented supranational organisations, which Sir Winston Churchill and other World leaders helped to forge, where deliberately engineered crises are used to manipulate The People and reduce their Freedoms to facilitate the unnatural situation of OUR Servants acting like Masters.
He didn’t lose the Raj - that was Atlee and Mountbatten. China? I don’t understand what you’re referring to there: the defeat of the KMT? It was also Atlee who signed up to NATO - and Heath who joined the Common Market. Not much that Churchill could have done about any of that! You might blame him for Gallipoli in WW I and Norway in WW II.

One of my earliest memories. His funeral stopped the world from turning. May He rest in everlasting peace.

That is a priceless fragment of history, right there. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Wonderful that you're finding these old previously thought lost bulletins! Hopefully more emerge in the near future.
ITV WERE NOT STUPID AND KEPT MOST OF BROADCAST MATERIAL UNLIKE ANTY BEEB WHO CHUCKED THIERS ON THE BONFIRE !😱😭
An excellent, rare find that is historically vitally important. Well done to everyone at ITN
What an awesome find! Thank you for sharing ❤
How bossman made it to 90 while best friends with the bottle, smoker and heavy set is beyond me but an absolute legend for it 😂
And had eight strokes between 1949 and his death.

How well I remember this. My father was in tears.
This was the first piece of news I remember watching on our tiny television.
Churchill was definitely a great Briton.
mass murderer. absolute racist tyrant. white supremacist

He was called the Man of the Century. How true. He was a statesman, something we do not seem to have in this day and age.

I was born same day, same morning in OZ
Turned 60 this year
Thanks for the video 😮
This was the very first piece of news that I remember. I was 4!
I remember this happening. I don't think I saw this, but I do remember being aware of his death. I would have been 7.
Amazing video thanks for sharing ❤🙏

His famed drinking wasn’t quite as prodigious as legend states: the whisky and sodas he imbibed were heavily diluted.
@@johnharwood188The Nazi WWII Propaganda also helped, by its constant repetition, to cement a certain perception.
Smoking and pickling are two of the oldest methods of preservation...
He started those practices before they found out it was bad for you. ;)
Great footage...

Um grande homem, como há poucos hoje em dia.
The Great Man! 🇬🇧❤
Many thanks for uploading this important piece of history - do you have the full half hour broadcast?
The nation is in grave danger now.
🙏🙏🙏
Also fascinating to see the start of the episode of Coronation Street that day
did they not raise a glass to him in the Rovers Return
We still face dangers and threats.
He is not dead.
Heaven announces, Winston Churchill is now the National Father of England ❤
"Everyone loves him" - channeled message from the spirit realm
In junior school I used to run up and down the playground arm in arm with some pals singing: "Vote, vote, vote for Winston Churchill!"
Of course many mourning. But I wouldn't be surprised many others got Champaign glasses & celebrated He was loved but also HATED!!😁😁.
Aman of his time

Was Winnie related to royalty?
Love these Churchill quotes!

The reason why the UK is in such a mess today is because of him.

what did Andrew Gardner do...??!
the man who lost the Raj and China and all the colonies of the UK...he also lost to NATO and EU that now surpass the humbled British empire..
Churchill was out of power when the Raj and China went. Better ask Clement Attlee what happened to them.
