I am 86 years old with only a few years of life left, yet I don't long to be young again. I have so many rich and fulfilling memories. As a little kid I went through WW2, that terrible war, those bleak dark days that stretched into years. But I have no real regrets. I feel for the young, growing up without the experience of the heritage I know so well. It's their heritage too, belonging to a proud island race that, despite the mischief done by the envious and ungrateful, still owns world renown. We do not know what lies ahead and I do not know how much more I shall see but I am prepared to believe that better times will come. We are overwhelmed by those many of whom would supplant us but it is my prayer thst there will be some who will join with us, the British people, with a genuine desire to make the United Kingdom great again. I say to the young "Work to make our nation great again. Give glory to God. A great heritage is yours. Treasure it and, with God's help, bring it back again.
Then be of good cheer, because things are changing fast. What trying to destroy our culture has done is made white people racially conscious. They don't care about nation, it's about blood and soil. Sound familiar? They have sown wind, and soon there will be a great many whirlwinds for them to reap. I hope you see it.
@@marcosmagic1983 Thanks👍. That's encouraging for I fear that younger generations might not appreciate the heritage we Britons have, a heritage second to none. It is still very much alive and is yours as well as mine. Treasure it. I do believe that despite the failures of those in authority better times will come. I hope I'll yet live long enough to enjoy some of what lies before us as we drag ourselves out of these miserable times. The UK has led before.

@Christian van Laak the only reason why the bengal famine of 1943 happened was because of the high population, japanese warships sinking food and water supplies for the nation, german u-boats, and the japanese air raiding, poor weather, and unclean water supply. although churchill was not the most perfect person in the world, he boosted the nations morale, and didnt surrender to the germans, or else ww2 would have ended up quite different.
As a teenage telegram boy I had the dubious privilege of delivering the first telegram to his home when he became ill. I did the same when he passed. I was in the crowds for his funeral and am not ashamed to say that I cried as did so many there. A truly 'man of the hour'
And even today 56 years after his death even I a non Brit mourn and cry for him. If it weren't for him not only would my country not be independant but the whole of Europe. On the 5th of May 1940 you British launched an "invasion" of Iceland, my home nation. We can't be more grateful as if it wasn't for that invasion we would not even be a 1st world nation and be so prosperous.

There’s absolutely no honour in that and it’s especially immoral when they’re already heavily losing. The bombings weren’t even of industrial targets, it was clearly a war crime against women and children and in no part legal.

@@tothemax9696 bombing of military targets and infrastructure to help the war effort. They knew there would be collateral damage but it was worth it to win the war.unlike the Nazis the allied bombings was purely to help the war effort. The Nazis actively hindered there military goals to kill innocent civilians
Piggy sew let’s just keep a few things in mind. 1. Churchill continued war on Germany over Poland, and was bombing Germany for months before there was bombs returned, and sided with a far more brutal communist regime which then crushed Poland sovereignty after the war which meant Churchill essentially had no intention to carry out his original goal. 2. He ignored the fact the USSR also invaded multiple countries before Germany did and also invaded Poland at roughly the same time as Germany. Churchill also ignored the fact Ethnic Germans were being murdered by Jews in Poland which was originally German to begin with, even after Hitler requested more international support they never done anything. History is indeed written by the victors and always will be, not everything is so black and white when you look at it from a non biased perspective

@@justanaverageyoutubeaccoun292 Exactly. Us Brits obviously wouldnt have won without the massive help from the United States in the West.

I'm an American but I have a small bust of Winston on my desk right next to teddy Roosevelt and gen Patton. In my opinion Winston was one of the greatest men who have ever lived. He stood against an evil tide and rallied a nation behind him and in doing so the world followed. God bless him and keep him.
I read your thoughts and those of everyone on this chain. I appreciate that you not only give time out of your lives to honor history but that it is documented for others to see. Sadly, based on what I see in the workforce...the typical person under 30 has no idea of what is being discussed in this setting. Makes you wonder what in the world is being taught in schools. That aside, I simple ask that parents take up the banner. Step up and educate your children, do not rely fully on third partis who may not share your values.

I watched as they took him home up the River. My eyes teared up when President/General Eisenhower said, as they rounded the bend away from camera view, "Goodbye, my friend. Goodbye."
And well-mannered, and respectful, and showing some GRATITUDE. If Germany had won WW2, today's whiny snowflakes would be complaining about that, too. They would be saying, "If Mr. Churchill had done his job all those years ago, we'd be a free country now! But, nooooo, he just left us to the wolves!" There's just no pleasing some people. If there is nothing to complain about, they will find something to complain about. Public horse-whippings should be brought back, especially for those who loot, riot, and deface national monuments. Nothing like old-fashioned public humiliation for an attitude adjustment.
Those people have gone thru war, bombings and other kinds of hell, compared to the spoiled people of today who think's the world is ending when there is no WiFi around...
I was in London on Remembrance Sunday in 1998. The Queen and the leaders of the various parties laid wreaths at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. During the two minutes of silence, you could have heard a pin drop. It was very moving. No one does ceremony quite like the Brits.
@@josephsnearline2022 The well-bred ones do. Those of scrub stock just riot, burn, loot, and destroy historic monuments, thinking that by doing so, the past will be changed.
The state funeral was the largest gathering of dignitaries in Britain, as representatives from well over 100 countries attended, including French President Charles de Gaulle, Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, Prime Minister of Rhodesia Ian Smith, former US president Dwight Eisenhower, and many other heads of state, including past and present heads of state and government, and members of royal families the world over. The Prime Minister of Australia, Sir Robert Menzies, then the longest serving Commonwealth Prime Minister (who had known Churchill intimately in wartime), paid tribute to his colleague as part of the funeral broadcast, as did President Eisenhower. he funeral saw the largest assemblage of statesmen in the world until the 2005 funeral of Pope John Paul II

@@edwardjj4224 I think you have him confused with the Americans and his own successors. Churchill wanted to go to war with the USSR in 1945 to liberate Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe from the reds. It's just that the rest of the West didn't have the guts to go for it.
@@ALEXANDER1318 Ya, but the British love getting into fights they'll lose until/unless the US reverses it. Churchill may have wanted to, as did Patton, and we probably should have. Would have saved a lot of neo-marxist caused death from war and purging. Problem is, the American people weren't even that happy to be fighting Germany and Italy. They wanted Japan. What really should have happened, the 'allies,' another war reversed and won by the US, should have made damn sure the White Russians won in 1919. It would have been soooo easy then.
I am a Korean, and after Japan was defeated by the victory of the Allied Forces, we became independent and became the 10th largest economy in the world. We educate our children in detail about this great man. Your patriotism and loyalty to the Queen inspire many people around the world today.
The crazy thing is British children are not being taught how great he was. I asked my friends kids last year what they were taught about him at school...." he was a bad man who did some good things ". Incredibly sad and scary that we are raising a generation taught fake news.
Glad to see our beautiful nation of Britain is getting taught to the world and I hope South Korea and the UK remain strong allies for the future 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇰🇷🇰🇷
I wasn’t aware, or had really thought that the British were physically fighting against Japan, but I do now recall there were British POWs in the Pacific I believe. They were definitely busy with Germany and if it wasn’t for their stubbornness and bravery, Hitler wouldn’t have been defeated.
As an American and one with a good understanding of history, I gotta say that I've always admired you Brits. You possess a quiet dignity and pride about you that I find so endearing and deserving of respect. Cheers from one of your "American cousins".

My other favorite Churchill comeback is when a MP shouted, “Rote” and Churchill simply said, “I thank the honorable gentleman for telling us all what is in his head.”
I'm 63, live in the USA and I recall Winston's funeral clearly. I was nine years old. Why? Because his funeral was televised on all three TV networks on a Saturday morning, killing my cartoon viewings on granny's black and white TV. I was so angered. But now reflecting back and discovering my rich British heritage ancestry, I'm so happy, thanks to this video posting, to relive that Saturday morning. This is very moving!!!
The Passing of Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill occurred on a Sunday, January 24,1965. I personally do not recall a single instance of any of the Major Networks(NBC, CBS, ABC)(It should be made clearer however that the BBC and I'am certain there even others that may have broadcast the event, however, I do not recall the funeral covering the actual funeral procession being broadcast. I was born and raised in the City of New York, I was in 10th grade in High School. It must be further stated that such an event as we are witnessed here lasted for some 6 days(A card placed on a Wreath which was so placed on the grave of Winston Churchill read "From the nation and commonwealth in grateful remembrance" Elizabeth R ). Winston Churchill lay in state with the entire period of observance with the Funeral Procession and subsequent burial occurring on the 6th day, a Saturday.
It is unfortunate however I'am not able to place the claim made by you that all three major networks, again I'am assuming your reference to all three major networks are in fact NBC, CBS, ABC are in fact the three major networks that you are referring too and as well is the greater New York City area the location of that viewing occurring on Saturday morning Jan.30,1965. This is merely an attempt to clarify your statement.
I was a bit perplexed with your comment when you Donald Reeves said, "I was so angered", really? I would like to know can you name the cartoons that most got your attention on any particular Saturday, including the day the former Prime Minister Winston Churchill was to be buried. Some detail would prove particularly useful, what say you "Donald Reeves".
I think if you had imparted to any who may have read your comment what this rich British Heritage Ancestry was in fact there would be something all might learn from. The comment as is, is without a truth or even a cause by which the reader of your comment may indeed learn something perhaps anything at all about as you say your rich British Heritage Ancestry. I personally do not know what in fact you are referring to or what you are talking about. Do You Donald Reaves know much of anything about Prime Minister Churchill, if that be the case then let us know otherwise why in the deuce are you here? The Event which the British press coined the term "Atlantic Charter" was a first meeting between the then President of The United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt and The Prime Minister of the Commonwealth Winston Churchill. The meeting occurred on two amazing ships with one of the two ships being The Prince of Wales, a King George the Fifth Class Battleship(KG5). There is very excellent information about this meeting with the Prime Minister's own words making for a shared fellowship one morning on the Deck of The Prince of Wales. Officers and many High Ranking officials from both countries sang and sang I might remind everyone here, that the hymnals of the Church of England are one of the greatest concentration of magnificent verse as any musical literature. It is this opinion that has it, that the Church of England should stand front and center as one of the greatest repositories of wealth, untold wealth at that. I wish you could listen to Winston Churchill speak of those moments when there was a shared fellowship aboard the Prince of Wales somewhere in the North Atlantic.This is about your Heritage Donald Reaves, you should know it well.
To show how important this man is - I am not British but in my country, the Philippines, it was made known to us that he was a key character in ending the war and a hero. Our teachers made it known to us that he should be respected.

I hear about what happened to his memorials and I just think of a quote from Churchill himself. "If the present tries to sit in judgment of the past, it will lose the future."
I remember watching the funeral on German TV and I was only 9 years old. My Mother, who sat beside me, told me that he was a great man Only years later I understood what she meant. In the same year, I went to visit England for the first time in my life. I stayed with a wonderful family for 9 weeks. There I learned, that a to me unknown family took me as member of the family for this time, that people should look after one another. No matter where they come from. This year was so special for me. Thank you England. It is still my favorite country to visit at least once a year

@@gottmituns6297 London was bombed, that’s war, many civilians died in London to and many died from 1939 to 1945, no winners and losers in war only misery and grief.
@@gottmituns6297 I think you'll find that Nazi Germany were doing that long before the UK declared war. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. Tactically, Germany was very good, but strategically useless, including it's pointless bombing of UK cities. Total war does that, it kills civilians, of which Germany was demonstrably very good at doing so. We went for German industry, not civilians. In today's terminology... collateral damage. The Second War only started because the First wasn't brought home enough to the German public, who still felt "cheated" of victory.
I hope British people still realise that the greatest man of the 20th century was one of them. I'm French, my grandfather was a resistant in Auvergne, he was captured then freed by British paras and was finally injured in Germany just before the end of the war. He fought with the British from the beginning till the end. I remember when i was a kid, he had two pictures in his home. Charles De Gaulle's one, and Sir Winston Churchill one. Respect éternel de France, les vrais Français ne vous oubliront jamais Sir Winston Churchill ! Rest in peace. Greetings to my British friends ! Stay strong !
Much respect to you my French friend. It is comments like this that would make Churchill proud. We all gave much in that war, even the people of Germany who were oppressed by a tyrant, but thanks to Churchill we can live to speak without fear. All of us, Whether we be French, British, or German. We are all free people now. We must all make sure the sacrifices of your grandfather and mine (my grandfather watched his friend die during WWII and never forgot its horrors) are never forgotten. No matter what our politicians squabble over and pick at, we, as the people of the world, but stand together. Viva La France! - A Brit :)
And yet those savages at Parliament Square dare to deface his statue. He was not perfect, but he was no monster. He was the hero who stood up for his nation. Hail to the heroes of old. God save the Queen. (edit: grammar)
It's madess that greats like Churchill can be so despised today by a generation that neer had to go through the trials and tribulations that their ancestors did. It's genuinely sad how detached from the real world a lot of modern people are.
Hear hear...A proud British boomer..having to witness the current youth who hated him, vandalised his image for they have no clue how Sir Winston has saved Great Britain from perils of WW2..A prouder member of 17 veterans in our families that served this nation during its darkest years.
Newer facts come up. Throws light on who Winnie really was. Ok he stood firm against Nazis but he also committed atrocities starvation in India. Younger generations aren’t blind followers like the old generations’ imperialist mentality.
He didn't starve India out of malice. He need munitions for the war effort and so diverted all food towards British and allied troops. If not, those troops would have died of malnutrition or killed whilst fatigued. Almost every major army general in history has had to make a similar decision. Today's youth only think it was an outrage because it was a white person who did it. Todays youth are alarmingly conformist. Look at India's population boom since the British ruled. They had too many children as they were given means of medicine and an endless supply of food by the British infrastructure. They were gluttonous and like every other gluttonous people (including the British post world war 2), they eventually have to pay the price because life is never a straight line. @@jamesnga2705

@@joerizzo6921 obviously you have not bothered to read more than the recommended reading list or watched anything other than the world at war. Churchill dragged us into a war we didn't want that financially broke Britain and got 500k of our young men killed one generation after we had lost almost 900k of our best. The genetic loss can not be over stated. But the question is why. Why did Churchill suddenly start sabre rattling in 1936? He never uttered a bad word about Germany prior to 36. So we have to look into his private life. He was bankrupt in 36 and suddenly a group of people who wear a certain type of hat started funding him. In turn he suddenly started advocating war on Germany. He got his way. Then the empire is bankrupt and with all our young men being dead we had to import labour. Which is why you now have a non British pm and Britons are under 50% of the capital. Well done Winston....
People forget that Sir Winston fought in the Boer War, and after the British Minister of the Army allowed the Gallipoli Campaign to fail with flip flopping of the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George over the Campaign, Sir Winston resigned from Parliament having started the development of the Tank (Not quite the A1 Abrahams, or the Challenger) and reenlisted in the Fusiliers and was sent to France and the Western Front, then there was the Brothers of Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, who were both killed in Action in France during WW1 (Queen Elizabeth the Queen Consort to King George VI) Prince Bertie, Duke of York as King George VI was known who served as a Lieutenant abroad a Battleship at the Battle of Jutland during WW1 and Lord Louie Mountbatten was a Midshipman abroad a Destroyer in the English Channel and the Mediterranean around the same time, Prince Philip served in WW2 as Lieutenant and Lieutenant Commander in Command of a Destroyer in the Mediterranean too, with the deaths of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth it marks the end of the Greatest Generation of those who Fought in WW2
@wonderfulnmarvelous Oh, how true that can be... Churchill was a colorful character... definitely not PC and definitely not worthy to be considered a Vitruvian Man... He was a man of an older time, an imperialist, a racist, a sexist...but he was the man Britain and the World needed at the time...

As an American I’m not sure if there ever was a more powerful and better leader. FDR had his moments, but Churchill’s resolve and courage is simply unmatchable.
Depends what you mean by leader I guess. As a wartime leader, Churchill was almost unequalled. However, his history of leadership in peacetime is far less perfect and he is outshone but his successor as prime minister, Clement Attlee and by others such as President F. D. Roosevelt.
Indeed. For me, the fact that he, failed [to put it likely] at Gallipoli, and so, quit his position as Lord of the Admiralty to fight in the trenches of the First World War rings even louder than his leadership in WWII. Imagine a modern politician messing up so badly, and owning it in such a way.
I have watched this video many times. I am most moved by the faces of the older people who lived through WWII standing there tough and impassive. I think about what they experienced and endured. Not only British people but all people, everywhere.
They sounded Drake's Drum and Winston answered the call. Served in three wars. Won a Nobel Prize for literature. And served and loved his country in an exemplary manner. Fidelity,sacrifice and the belief of good overcoming evil.
I'm not British. But even as an American I can honestly say that Winston Churchill was truly a great man and deserved a funeral such as this. He held that country together for years for our friends from across the pond. RIP Sir Winston. A man for the ages.
CerealKillerDZ even as a Chinese I will say that Churchill was a great leader and his quotes are inspiring. We will always remember him for what he done to save the world.
Iraj Pandey Okay... let me put it this way, the British were in literally h the e middle of the Battle of the Atlantic and the British were already running low on food for themselves, and the German U-Boats made it almost impossible for British Supplies to even make it to the Far East, the presence of the Italian Navy I would believe made it even worst. I believe he would of sent food, if it wasn’t for the war and the conditions Britain was facing.
God save the King. And thank the Queen for all her hard work for 70 years she has devoted her life to this country may she rest easy up in Heaven with Prince Phillip together once again
Unfortunately the crane operators were told if they didn't do it they would lose their jobs. Great man as he was he was not popular in the east end of London
Each time I watch this. I remember going to Westminster Cathedral with my mum, walking past his coffin. My mum telling me about him. As she grew up in the war. Her final words have stuck in my mind till this day. She said there will never be another leader of this country like him. How true she has been

Dank Memes The EU is the world's most stagnant economy. Trade with growing markets in Asia, Africa and America's is the future. Britain was great before the EU, it will still be great after the EU inevitably collapses.
Money cannot compare to freedom to be yourself. My ancestors came from Yorkshire to America in 1736 but I know why they left the European Union. For the same reason they resisted the Roman invasions, the Normans in 1066, Napoleon's grandiose ideas and Hitler. No one had to put it into words - we just knew. Our earth, not theirs, the shield wall goes up and you fight to the death. Better to have all separate and sovereign nations that use computer apps to translate language, currencies and trade agreements. The Union is a great idea but even the best ideas simply don't work in reality because of human nature. Britain will survive as they always have. They tried the other way and it required that they give up being British. They couldn't do it - the "wogs" do start at Calais...
i don't really have a position on Britain leaving but the reason it was so strong before was because of the huge empire it had amassed and the wealth it gained from it. that Empire is no more so just saying it was great once and therefore will b again doesn't really make much sense. if Britain strives and ends up being "great" again then it will be due to other things not the things it has previously relied on.... just saying
As a Greek, I feel that Mr Churchill should be revered for eons to come. He saved the world in the darkest hour. And he revered my people, the Greeks, for fighting like heroes, but also for heroes fighting like us. He's more than a statesman: he's a world hero, and Britons should do everything they can to remember him.
Lol. He did not revere your people for fighting against the NAZIs. In fact, he turned on those who did. tribunemag.co.uk/2020/05/how-churchill-crushed-greeces-anti-fascist-resistance
@@mr.mintman7545 He literally supported them **during** the war against the Nazis. Because he wanted them defeated. But it's true that Britain turned against the partisans, because they were exactly commies, another peril. Let me remind you, that the same communists who fought against the Nazis literally started a civil war in Greece right after the Nazis were kicked out. EAM, the communists, killed hundreds of thousands of people for no reason. They had to be stopped immediately. And I once again thank Churchill here. Because the commies would have certainly destroyed Greece if they took power. They already did so in the Civil War. Moral of the story: the commies in Greece should literally not betray the country after they helped kicking out the main enemy, the Nazis.
@@Pan472 They were the main resistance force against the NAZIs. Same story in Yugoslavia. Doubt you could define communism if it hit you in the face. "commies, another peril." If you want to make an insane claim like that, you'll have to define it further. "not betray the country". Considering they were the main ones saving it, I doubt they were betraying it. "killed hundreds of thousands of people for no reason". Well now you're just making shit up, go cite a source. "commies would have certainly destroyed Greece". Socialists, bar in Cambodia, have never once destroyed a country, only improved it greatly. Fact.
Saved us all from Fascism....I was born in 1946, but always remember his Legacy. He was our Queen's Mentor. Remember she was so young. The respect shown by people from all walks of life speaks volumes. The gratefulness for his courageous Leadership. He was so brave, took many risks and saved his nation from brutal tyranny.
Came here after the death of Prince Phillip. Losing our great men with seemingly no replacements. "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times."
Hear, hear. These days, we tear down tradition and institutions in the pursuit of some guilt cleansing activity that leaves society without foundation and without respect for our nation.
It was the same route that I took to get here. I was 9 when Churchill died, and I can remember the whole televised event. All these years later in April 2021, I look around me and realise what we had back then. Pride.
I dont see how Prince Philip is an example of a man stronger than anyone today, and your overused poem doesnt even make sense because, not to be disrespectful but most of the time, Churchill and especially Phillip has easy times
I was living in Johannesburg at the time Winston Churchill died. Every day, a cartoonist called Bob Connolly used to post a satirical, political cartoon in the Daily Mail newspaper, always with a little dumpy, round-bellied man somewhere in the picture. I never saw Bob Connolly personally, but I heard that he looked just like the little man in his cartoons - a self-prortrait pastiche. On the occasion of the death of Winston Churchill, he excelled himself with a cartoon that simply depicted an ash tray with a dead cigar in it, and the little figure of Connolly standing to one side, head bowed.

One of the giants of history. Army officer, Lord of the Admiralty, scholar, outstanding author/writer, philosopher, painter, politician(despite the fact that he was voted out after the war by a nation craving near-socialism), prime minister, and leader of a nation at a time of existential national danger. Few men in history could boast of this resume'. Based on the outpouring of love and respect seen in this video, one can safely say that the world will not see his like again.
You have to remember the British population was looking to rebuild after the war. They never lost respect for him. They just thought that he wasn't the right fit to lead the country in peacetime.
I was nine when Churchill died. My father said you can always you were alive at the same time as the greatest man of the 20th century. My father was correct, the whole World owes so much to him.
Churchill never declared war on Germany 😂😂 it was chamberlien.... Churchill is the man who stood up and said no to the Nazis and we won the Battle of Britain totally outnumbered and we never ever surrendered because of this man 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
From Chile, he is one of the truly great men of History, I think of him, after Dunkirk, leading Britain, alone against the Nazi juggernaut, while other politicians wanted to compromise with Hitler, and most of Europe defeated. Many Americans wanted nothing to do with the war in Europe. Pearl Harbor was well in the future. But Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill stood as a rock and Britain with him. And after the war he foresee what was about to come with the Soviet Union but has not the power to prevent it. My hat off to him, not being british I think he´s is the greatest Briton has ever lived. It would have been a dull world without Shakespeare or Bernard Shaw or Tolkien, but without Winston Churchill and the nazis ruling for many years, it would have been hell on earth.
"If this long Island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each of us lies choking in his own blood upon the ground." - Winston Churchill
Winston is the greatest ever British person to walk God's earth, both ruthless, and humble at the same time, we should never forget how this man helped to make our nation great....
He urged the Polish government to decline Germany's proposal in their attempt to settle the dispute over Danzig peacefully. He promised military support. And when the Germans invaded your country Britain did nothing. More than a million French and British troops were lined up on the western border of Germany against 23 divisions. And not a single tank rolled into the Reich. Yes, Mr Churchill would bring tears to my eyes as well.
I was 18 years old when I watched this great man’s funeral with my father on our tv in Scotland. He got the UK through the Second World War. I shall never forget ❤️
@Owen McKinney yes. The Scots are loved and indeed they are courageous. My father would have agreed. He was in Italy Greece Egypt and at Dunkirk during the Second World War. The Scots are adventurous and have settled throughout the world. I would like to think Churchill’s sentiments are true. Thank you.
I am an American who was 11 years old when PM Churchill died. I still remember sitting and watching the entire funeral service and then the trip by barge up the Thames. My roots are in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. My GGGrandfather came to the US in 1863 and I think there are still some little things that my family does that came over with my GGGrandfather. I may be American but I descend from some of the kings and queens of England. I have been an Anglophile all of my life. I love two countries.
As an American, I was 15 years old when Sir Winston Churchill passed away, A funeral fitting for the world's most worthy and greatest leader, in my opinion, dare I say, much more honorable and greater leader then our FDR and Truman put together. He was an anchor to the United States who were too hesitant to assist Great Britain to aid in there early fight against Nazi Germany and Japan. Trying to negotiate with these tyrannical led countries to America's dismay became evident. As FDR thought as ongoing negotiations with Japan; Japan were secretly plotting to attack Pearl Harbor and it was extremely successful causing the deaths of over 3,000 lives. It was a wake up call for America. Sir Winston Churchill tried to warn America of this possibility. And an angry giant awakened, but at what cost?? RIP Prime Minister Sir Churchill,for a job well done! Your legacy will endure forever!! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 God Save The King! (Charles lll)
I wish I could say "Thank you" to him, because of all he did to let me live a free life in a free country.

@Iraj Pandey Britain was at war, do you not get that? Efforts were made by Churchill's War Cabinet but resources were stretched to their bare minimum. We were barely holding on ourselves at the time.
My dad fought against the Japanese and we had uncles who fought on the Western Front. My dad worshipped Churchill and General Patten. He would read every book on Churchill that he could find. He was from Mexico and became an American citizen. He never felt he owed any loyal feelings to Mexico. This always stayed with me even to now (I am 71) of his immense respect for Churchill. He would often say that "England stood alone." I even remember my dad reciting word for word "We will never surrender." Yes, Churchill had his faults. Who doesn't? But he was a unique leader at a time which needed him the most.
Bravo obviously some one well Read and insightful you need only read the volumes of his Biography The Duke if Marlborough to see the breadth of the mint that inhabited his body

As you once said "heroes fight like greeks", nevertheless the honorable title of hero must go to you first. May you rest in peace sir Winston Churcill.
Andyrew theWeasel he really did deserve it! After all he did for the crown and the kingdoms people. what a truely legondary man. I'm glad we are getting another woman on the tenner!
Note the immigrants and ethnic minorities in the crowd, equally devoted to him. What kind of world would they have lived in if not for him? An important lesson for the people of today, especially considering recent events.
The degeneration of our cultures was caused by the fact that we handed over the education of our children to the New Left. It's long past time to abolish state schooling -- to at least eliminate their monopoly control over institutions of learning. ....Britain adopted state schooling even later than we Americans did.

Yes, indeed. Go back to your Empire, before 1914, the empire where the sun never sets. And the great British Navy. Build a time machine. O, by the way, the British Empire where some 500 million people were 'subjected'...?
Well you have Churchill to thank for its loss. Betrayed the British people, lost her her empire and fortune for his thirty pieces of silver and a pathetic moment of self-aggrandising 'glory'. Dumped by the British voters first chance they got; reviled by all decent thinking people for the warmongering murderer he was.
With such demonstrated eloquence exceeding apparent intelligence, it illustrates all too well why you'd easily be deceived to believe the nonsensical narrative about this bloodthirsty buffoon.
I can't imagine how the British people must've felt. They had lost a national hero who had guided the country through one of its darkest times. I'm getting tearful watching this and I am not even British, nor was I alive anytime near his time. RIP Sir Churchill 😢
I'm not british and I will probably never be. But this video makes me cry, of love for Britain and the british people. May you continue to be the civilized heart of Europe. Brexit or not. We will never forget how you saved us from the dark forces. With love from Sweden
Martin Hertsius: This music, which is from a national hymn 'I vow to thee my country', is very moving to me also. The lyrics were written by a British diplomat who was assigned to your capital Stockholm before the First World War. Dark forces? From what we hear, Sweden is in danger of being taken over by dark forces from the Middle East! Be safe. I wish we in UK could help you.
My friend, becoming apart of a nation is a monumental task, but it isn't impossible. We on the right-wing do not despise immigrants or people of other races, no; we merely believe that the most important thing is retaining the identity of a nation, and having a slow, sensible immigration policy. We welcome those whom desire to be British, and shun those whom do not. I define nationality in two ways: the first, the nation you will fight for is your nation; the second, the nation which welcomes you and aids you in becoming apart of it, is your nation. Nationalism is about history, culture, values and people - but most of all, it's about a profound expression of the human-spirit byway of common identity (not necessarily physical) and goals. That is the core of what it is to be British. It doesn't mean white all of the time, it can mean black, yellow, brown and blue - who cares? What ultimately matters is the sense of connection and similarity. You are welcome in our country, for you appear to have an emotional appreciation for our history and our culture; I have no doubt that you may yet become British. You'll know when the scenery of these isles become the manifestation of safety, love and home.
@James Henderson You know there are more countries then just UK that has erected statues of him in honor for him taking part in saving their country from nazi's. My country has a statue of him in the capital. No man is perfect, but i think the statue that stands there represents far more then just one man. To vandalize and cause destruction in the name of trying to create unity and peace seems a bit odd to me. I don't think anything good will come from trying to vandalize statues of Churchill. If anything it will only serve to divide people.
To those of you who do not understand history, you do not comprehend what this man means to us. This man stood in the face of evil, against all odds, and vowed to protect the free world. We are here today inpart to his efforts. May we forever be in his debt. This is coming from an American. The West owes much to Churchill. He deserves our respect.
My Grandad was on the Russian convoys. He said he was treated well in Murmansk and Arkangel. He did also have to deal with the cold and dead sailors, but he never said anything bad about the Russians. He sailed on a number of PQ convoys delivering guns, fuel, planes, ammo etc. At that point we were the best of friends. One ship turned upside down because it was so iced up on the deck. I could tell you a lot about this...
Without him, nor would we exist anymore. Without your People, nor would we exist anymore. Britain has never forgotten that the indomitable people of Russia bore the greatest load at the highest cost.

Whilst I agree with your comments on Sir Winston I wonder how you can speak of Attenborough in the same sentence. Attenborough who preaches about climate change, but who flies around the World making documentaries for the BBC at considerable financial gain to himself, is the personification of hypocrisy.
I am 86 years old with only a few years of life left, yet I don't long to be young again. I have so many rich and fulfilling memories. As a little kid I went through WW2, that terrible war, those bleak dark days that stretched into years. But I have no real regrets.
I feel for the young, growing up without the experience of the heritage I know so well. It's their heritage too, belonging to a proud island race that, despite the mischief done by the envious and ungrateful, still owns world renown.
We do not know what lies ahead and I do not know how much more I shall see but I am prepared to believe that better times will come. We are overwhelmed by those many of whom would supplant us but it is my prayer thst there will be some who will join with us, the British people, with a genuine desire to make the United Kingdom great again.
I say to the young "Work to make our nation great again. Give glory to God. A great heritage is yours. Treasure it and, with God's help, bring it back again.
Then be of good cheer, because things are changing fast. What trying to destroy our culture has done is made white people racially conscious. They don't care about nation, it's about blood and soil. Sound familiar? They have sown wind, and soon there will be a great many whirlwinds for them to reap. I hope you see it.

As an American, even I have profound respect and honor for this great man. He shaped more than your country, he shaped the world. Life is not black and white; it is not yes or no. Life is an arrangement of colors, complications and actions. Perhaps he was not a perfect man, but we can never forget what he did, for it affects all of us, forever. May his statue stand as tall and untarnished as he does in our memory. God bless you.
to me as and icelander he is a hero. even though britain invaded us it was better than germany invading us

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen” - Sir Winston Churchill
Does it also take courage to lead bombing campaigns specifically on women and children at the end of a war?
Cowboy Scouser Cowboy Scouser war should be soldiers fighting each other, not bombing women or children. There’s absolutely no honour in that and it’s especially immoral when they’re already heavily losing. The bombings weren’t even of industrial targets, it was clearly a war crime against women and children and in no part legal.
Completely fake quote that doesn't belong to Churchill. On a video showing his funeral you should aspire at the very least to not spread lies about him!
@@tothemax9696 bombing of military targets and infrastructure to help the war effort. They knew there would be collateral damage but it was worth it to win the war.unlike the Nazis the allied bombings was purely to help the war effort. The Nazis actively hindered there military goals to kill innocent civilians
Piggy sew let’s just keep a few things in mind. 1. Churchill continued war on Germany over Poland, and was bombing Germany for months before there was bombs returned, and sided with a far more brutal communist regime which then crushed Poland sovereignty after the war which meant Churchill essentially had no intention to carry out his original goal. 2. He ignored the fact the USSR also invaded multiple countries before Germany did and also invaded Poland at roughly the same time as Germany. Churchill also ignored the fact Ethnic Germans were being murdered by Jews in Poland which was originally German to begin with, even after Hitler requested more international support they never done anything. History is indeed written by the victors and always will be, not everything is so black and white when you look at it from a non biased perspective

I'm 63, live in the USA and I recall Winston's funeral clearly. I was nine years old. Why? Because his funeral was televised on all three TV networks on a Saturday morning, killing my cartoon viewings on granny's black and white TV. I was so angered. But now reflecting back and discovering my rich British heritage ancestry, I'm so happy, thanks to this video posting, to relive that Saturday morning. This is very moving!!!
Good Lad!
The Passing of Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill occurred on a Sunday, January 24,1965. I personally do not recall a single instance of any of the Major Networks(NBC, CBS, ABC)(It should be made clearer however that the BBC and I'am certain there even others that may have broadcast the event, however, I do not recall the funeral covering the actual funeral procession being broadcast. I was born and raised in the City of New York, I was in 10th grade in High School. It must be further stated that such an event as we are witnessed here lasted for some 6 days(A card placed on a Wreath which was so placed on the grave of Winston Churchill read "From the nation and commonwealth in grateful remembrance" Elizabeth R ). Winston Churchill lay in state with the entire period of observance with the Funeral Procession and subsequent burial occurring on the 6th day, a Saturday.
It is unfortunate however I'am not able to place the claim made by you that all three major networks, again I'am assuming your reference to all three major networks are in fact NBC, CBS, ABC are in fact the three major networks that you are referring too and as well is the greater New York City area the location of that viewing occurring on Saturday morning Jan.30,1965. This is merely an attempt to clarify your statement.
I was a bit perplexed with your comment when you Donald Reeves said, "I was so angered", really? I would like to know can you name the cartoons that most got your attention on any particular Saturday, including the day the former Prime Minister Winston Churchill was to be buried. Some detail would prove particularly useful, what say you "Donald Reeves".
I think if you had imparted to any who may have read your comment what this rich British Heritage Ancestry was in fact there would be something all might learn from. The comment as is, is without a truth or even a cause by which the reader of your comment may indeed learn something perhaps anything at all about as you say your rich British Heritage Ancestry. I personally do not know what in fact you are referring to or what you are talking about. Do You Donald Reaves know much of anything about Prime Minister Churchill, if that be the case then let us know otherwise why in the deuce are you here? The Event which the British press coined the term "Atlantic Charter" was a first meeting between the then President of The United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt and The Prime Minister of the Commonwealth Winston Churchill. The meeting occurred on two amazing ships with one of the two ships being The Prince of Wales, a King George the Fifth Class Battleship(KG5). There is very excellent information about this meeting with the Prime Minister's own words making for a shared fellowship one morning on the Deck of The Prince of Wales. Officers and many High Ranking officials from both countries sang and sang I might remind everyone here, that the hymnals of the Church of England are one of the greatest concentration of magnificent verse as any musical literature. It is this opinion that has it, that the Church of England should stand front and center as one of the greatest repositories of wealth, untold wealth at that. I wish you could listen to Winston Churchill speak of those moments when there was a shared fellowship aboard the Prince of Wales somewhere in the North Atlantic.This is about your Heritage Donald Reaves, you should know it well.

Newer facts come up. Throws light on who Winnie really was. Ok he stood firm against Nazis but he also committed atrocities starvation in India. Younger generations aren’t blind followers like the old generations’ imperialist mentality.
He didn't starve India out of malice. He need munitions for the war effort and so diverted all food towards British and allied troops. If not, those troops would have died of malnutrition or killed whilst fatigued. Almost every major army general in history has had to make a similar decision. Today's youth only think it was an outrage because it was a white person who did it. Todays youth are alarmingly conformist. Look at India's population boom since the British ruled. They had too many children as they were given means of medicine and an endless supply of food by the British infrastructure.

The genetic loss can not be over stated. But the question is why. Why did Churchill suddenly start sabre rattling in 1936? He never uttered a bad word about Germany prior to 36. So we have to look into his private life. He was bankrupt in 36 and suddenly a group of people who wear a certain type of hat started funding him. In turn he suddenly started advocating war on Germany. He got his way. Then the empire is bankrupt and with all our young men being dead we had to import labour.

People forget that Sir Winston fought in the Boer War, and after the British Minister of the Army allowed the Gallipoli Campaign to fail with flip flopping of the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George over the Campaign, Sir Winston resigned from Parliament having started the development of the Tank (Not quite the A1 Abrahams, or the Challenger) and reenlisted in the Fusiliers and was sent to France and the Western Front, then there was the Brothers of Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, who were both killed in Action in France during WW1 (Queen Elizabeth the Queen Consort to King George VI) Prince Bertie, Duke of York as King George VI was known who served as a Lieutenant abroad a Battleship at the Battle of Jutland during WW1 and Lord Louie Mountbatten was a Midshipman abroad a Destroyer in the English Channel and the Mediterranean around the same time, Prince Philip served in WW2 as Lieutenant and Lieutenant Commander in Command of a Destroyer in the Mediterranean too, with the deaths of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth it marks the end of the Greatest Generation of those who Fought in WW2
Marvellous man.....He'll never, ever be forgotten.....
Can a single man make a difference?... YES, YES, OH YES, and what a difference he made...
@wonderfulnmarvelous Oh, how true that can be...
Churchill was a colorful character... definitely not PC and definitely not worthy to be considered a Vitruvian Man...
He was a man of an older time, an imperialist, a racist, a sexist...but he was the man Britain and the World needed at the time...
One the old adage "Cometh the hour cometh the man" surely holds true for...if ever it held true...
The history books would be a great deal darker if not for the frail, obese, faulty, creature.
@@Ledanois-u2o There is dumb, and there are mouths...you my friend manage both in a paragraph.
First I would agree Churchill is THE best prime minister BRITAIN ever had but I'm not British!
I'm on the hard right of politics, but I reject imperialism being IRISH maybe I've reason to...
I didn't disrespect him...he was what he was.... and at the end of the day...BRITAIN owes its very existence to him!
...and the rest of the European free world, directly owe their freedom to the man.
I suspect my command of English, like history, is a great deal better than yours...if the gibberish you just spewed is anything to go by...
Yeah, great difference, he enslaved a lot of people.
@@aceto1900 The sad truth about reality... things are never usually a choice between good and evil...
It's always a bit more like...the better of two evils...
Now the difference between nazi Germany and Imperial Britain...
Is a bit like one doing it for profit and the other for pleasure!
Of the two I've no problem in calling it...
Hero's contrary to popular belief... are not saints never mind angles!
Churchill was a dinosaur...but never has the world needed such a fossil.
@@aceto1900 inbreeding I see ya fucking mug keep your mouth shut
If I had been born in 1965, I would have gone to his funerals. He defines the word leadership. There’s no such leader anymore anywhere
As an American I’m not sure if there ever was a more powerful and better leader. FDR had his moments, but Churchill’s resolve and courage is simply unmatchable.
Depends what you mean by leader I guess. As a wartime leader, Churchill was almost unequalled. However, his history of leadership in peacetime is far less perfect and he is outshone but his successor as prime minister, Clement Attlee and by others such as President F. D. Roosevelt.
Ronald Reagan
Indeed. For me, the fact that he, failed [to put it likely] at Gallipoli, and so, quit his position as Lord of the Admiralty to fight in the trenches of the First World War rings even louder than his leadership in WWII. Imagine a modern politician messing up so badly, and owning it in such a way.
Thank you.
He was not a good leader lmao, half his wartime decisions led to major famines and global food shortages
I have watched this video many times. I am most moved by the faces of the older people who lived through WWII standing there tough and impassive. I think about what they experienced and endured. Not only British people but all people, everywhere.
Me too, just like you said
And also WW1 veterans

Served in three wars.
Won a Nobel Prize for literature.

CerealKillerDZ even as a Chinese I will say that Churchill was a great leader and his quotes are inspiring. We will always remember him for what he done to save the world.
Iraj Pandey Okay... let me put it this way, the British were in literally h the e middle of the Battle of the Atlantic and the British were already running low on food for themselves, and the German U-Boats made it almost impossible for British Supplies to even make it to the Far East, the presence of the Italian Navy I would believe made it even worst. I believe he would of sent food, if it wasn’t for the war and the conditions Britain was facing.

Each time I watch this. I remember going to Westminster Cathedral with my mum, walking past his coffin. My mum telling me about him. As she grew up in the war. Her final words have stuck in my mind till this day. She said there will never be another leader of this country like him. How true she has been

“If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea”. - Winston Churchill
Which is why they left the European Union - they chose the freedom of their open seas, upon which they built an empire.
+Carole Clarke an island country leaving one of largest economies in the world isn't a good idea. Britain will never "be great again".
Dank Memes The EU is the world's most stagnant economy. Trade with growing markets in Asia, Africa and America's is the future. Britain was great before the EU, it will still be great after the EU inevitably collapses.
Money cannot compare to freedom to be yourself. My ancestors came from Yorkshire to America in 1736 but I know why they left the European Union. For the same reason they resisted the Roman invasions, the Normans in 1066, Napoleon's grandiose ideas and Hitler. No one had to put it into words - we just knew. Our earth, not theirs, the shield wall goes up and you fight to the death. Better to have all separate and sovereign nations that use computer apps to translate language, currencies and trade agreements. The Union is a great idea but even the best ideas simply don't work in reality because of human nature. Britain will survive as they always have. They tried the other way and it required that they give up being British. They couldn't do it - the "wogs" do start at Calais...
i don't really have a position on Britain leaving but the reason it was so strong before was because of the huge empire it had amassed and the wealth it gained from it. that Empire is no more so just saying it was great once and therefore will b again doesn't really make much sense. if Britain strives and ends up being "great" again then it will be due to other things not the things it has previously relied on.... just saying
As a Greek, I feel that Mr Churchill should be revered for eons to come. He saved the world in the darkest hour. And he revered my people, the Greeks, for fighting like heroes, but also for heroes fighting like us. He's more than a statesman: he's a world hero, and Britons should do everything they can to remember him.
Lol. He did not revere your people for fighting against the NAZIs. In fact, he turned on those who did.

@@mr.mintman7545 He literally supported them **during** the war against the Nazis. Because he wanted them defeated. But it's true that Britain turned against the partisans, because they were exactly commies, another peril. Let me remind you, that the same communists who fought against the Nazis literally started a civil war in Greece right after the Nazis were kicked out. EAM, the communists, killed hundreds of thousands of people for no reason. They had to be stopped immediately. And I once again thank Churchill here. Because the commies would have certainly destroyed Greece if they took power. They already did so in the Civil War.
Moral of the story: the commies in Greece should literally not betray the country after they helped kicking out the main enemy, the Nazis.
@@mr.mintman7545 Yes he did - "Greeks don't fight like heroes, Heroes fight like greeks". He also tried to help the Greeks at great cost.
@@Pan472 They were the main resistance force against the NAZIs. Same story in Yugoslavia. Doubt you could define communism if it hit you in the face.
"commies, another peril." If you want to make an insane claim like that, you'll have to define it further.
"not betray the country". Considering they were the main ones saving it, I doubt they were betraying it.
"killed hundreds of thousands of people for no reason". Well now you're just making shit up, go cite a source.
"commies would have certainly destroyed Greece". Socialists, bar in Cambodia, have never once destroyed a country, only improved it greatly. Fact.
This man was the reason nearly 4 million Bengalis starved to death during WWII. He has more or less blood on his hands than Hitler
Saved us all from Fascism....I was born in 1946, but always remember his Legacy. He was our Queen's Mentor. Remember she was so young. The respect shown by people from all walks of life speaks volumes. The gratefulness for his courageous Leadership. He was so brave, took many risks and saved his nation from brutal tyranny.
Came here after the death of Prince Phillip. Losing our great men with seemingly no replacements. "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times."
Hear, hear. These days, we tear down tradition and institutions in the pursuit of some guilt cleansing activity that leaves society without foundation and without respect for our nation.
So did I... A perfect piece of music to celebrate the life of this amazing human
Different characters that were made in different times, the like of which we’ll never see again. 🇬🇧
It was the same route that I took to get here. I was 9 when Churchill died, and I can remember the whole televised event. All these years later in April 2021, I look around me and realise what we had back then. Pride.
I dont see how Prince Philip is an example of a man stronger than anyone today, and your overused poem doesnt even make sense because, not to be disrespectful but most of the time, Churchill and especially Phillip has easy times
I was living in Johannesburg at the time Winston Churchill died. Every day, a cartoonist called Bob Connolly used to post a satirical, political cartoon in the Daily Mail newspaper, always with a little dumpy, round-bellied man somewhere in the picture. I never saw Bob Connolly personally, but I heard that he looked just like the little man in his cartoons - a self-prortrait pastiche. On the occasion of the death of Winston Churchill, he excelled himself with a cartoon that simply depicted an ash tray with a dead cigar in it, and the little figure of Connolly standing to one side, head bowed.

Few men in history could boast of this resume'. Based on the outpouring of love and respect seen in this video, one can safely say that the world will not see his like again.

As an American, I was 15 years old when Sir Winston Churchill passed away, A funeral fitting for the world's most worthy and greatest leader, in my opinion, dare I say, much more honorable and greater leader then our FDR and Truman put together. He was an anchor to the United States who were too hesitant to assist Great Britain to aid in there early fight against Nazi Germany and Japan. Trying to negotiate with these tyrannical led countries to America's dismay became evident. As FDR thought as ongoing negotiations with Japan; Japan were secretly plotting to attack Pearl Harbor and it was extremely successful causing the deaths of over 3,000 lives. It was a wake up call for America. Sir Winston Churchill tried to warn America of this possibility. And an angry giant awakened, but at what cost?? RIP

Well you have Churchill to thank for its loss. Betrayed the British people, lost her her empire and fortune for his thirty pieces of silver and a pathetic moment of self-aggrandising 'glory'. Dumped by the British voters first chance they got; reviled by all decent thinking people for the warmongering murderer he was.
With such demonstrated eloquence exceeding apparent intelligence, it illustrates all too well why you'd easily be deceived to believe the nonsensical narrative about this bloodthirsty buffoon.

we voted out because we can see what europe is becoming.... a dictatorship! we british love all european nations, but we want our freedom!
My friend, becoming apart of a nation is a monumental task, but it isn't impossible. We on the right-wing do not despise immigrants or people of other races, no; we merely believe that the most important thing is retaining the identity of a nation, and having a slow, sensible immigration policy. We welcome those whom desire to be British, and shun those whom do not. I define nationality in two ways: the first, the nation you will fight for is your nation; the second, the nation which welcomes you and aids you in becoming apart of it, is your nation. Nationalism is about history, culture, values and people - but most of all, it's about a profound expression of the human-spirit byway of common identity (not necessarily physical) and goals. That is the core of what it is to be British. It doesn't mean white all of the time, it can mean black, yellow, brown and blue - who cares? What ultimately matters is the sense of connection and similarity. You are welcome in our country, for you appear to have an emotional appreciation for our history and our culture; I have no doubt that you may yet become British. You'll know when the scenery of these isles become the manifestation of safety, love and home.
And I'll never forget how they helped us save them twice.

@James Henderson You know there are more countries then just UK that has erected statues of him in honor for him taking part in saving their country from nazi's. My country has a statue of him in the capital. No man is perfect, but i think the statue that stands there represents far more then just one man. To vandalize and cause destruction in the name of trying to create unity and peace seems a bit odd to me. I don't think anything good will come from trying to vandalize statues of Churchill. If anything it will only serve to divide people.
To those of you who do not understand history, you do not comprehend what this man means to us. This man stood in the face of evil, against all odds, and vowed to protect the free world. We are here today inpart to his efforts. May we forever be in his debt. This is coming from an American. The West owes much to Churchill. He deserves our respect.
Im from russia and without him my people will not existe anymore
Thanks
My Grandad was on the Russian convoys. He said he was treated well in Murmansk and Arkangel. He did also have to deal with the cold and dead sailors, but he never said anything bad about the Russians. He sailed on a number of PQ convoys delivering guns, fuel, planes, ammo etc. At that point we were the best of friends. One ship turned upside down because it was so iced up on the deck. I could tell you a lot about this...
Without him, nor would we exist anymore.
Without your People, nor would we exist anymore.
Britain has never forgotten that the indomitable people of Russia bore the greatest load at the highest cost.
You must not know your history . Without the Russians ! BRITAIN wouldn’t exist
@@vivalapalestine7235 The Axis powers could easily taken over the european parts of russia were it not for the second and third fronts in africa and over the channel. With all forces consentrated on russia there would either be a european victory for germany or a stalemate between the modern day russian border the Ural mountains.
@@vivalapalestine7235 Of the three big allied powers, none could have won without the others and for two of them, Britain and Russia, failure would indeed have meant automatically their ceasing to exist as independent nations.
I am a New Zealander with English and Welsh heritage through my late mother. I also hold dual UK NZ citizenship . Going to the country of my mother and grandparents is the greaest acheivement in my life , I went to Blenheim Palace as well . Sir Winston Churchill and Sir David Attenbrough , the Greatest Englishmen to ever live in my books
And his brother big x.
What has he done to india????
@@cool28990 he saved the world pal
Whilst I agree with your comments on Sir Winston I wonder how you can speak of Attenborough in the same sentence. Attenborough who preaches about climate change, but who flies around the World making documentaries for the BBC at considerable financial gain to himself, is the personification of hypocrisy.
