Winston Churchill - 50th Anniversary

On the 24th January 2015, fifty years after the death of Winston Churchill, events are taking place all over the UK to mark this occasion. The tributes include a Service of Remembrance at the Houses of Parliament on January 30th at 12.40pm.  Then there is a re-creation of the funeral procession which sailed along the Thames in 1965. In the evening at Westminster Abbey there is a Service of Commemoration. The Churchill Central website has been launched especially for this occasion with lots of information about his life.

Not surprisingly, there's also lots of TV coverage about this including, Churchill: 100 Days That Saved Britain, Sunday 25th January ITV 10. 20 pm and Churchill: The Nation's Farewell, January 28th 9.00pm (a documentary) BBC 1.

"This is the lesson: never give in, never ,never, never.... in nothing great or small, large or petty....never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." At Harrow School, October 29th 1941
