The whole world owes the British people an eternal debt of gratitude for giving us this man when we needed him most. We owe to Winston Churchill the future in who’s light we are allowed to stand in freedom. It’s hard to remain resolute, to hold at bay this creeping dispair. To witness lesser men with lesser motives cast stones at him from the shadows of very freedom he provided. I am grateful, I will not give up hope, I’ve learned the lesson. Thank you from an American.
Thank God for Sir Winston Churchill and King George VI . The best team we had in world war II. We thank you for your freedom. May you both rest in peace.
A man... we will not see his like again, and the world needs him now more than ever. Reporter and hero during the Boar War, Nobel Prize winner in literature, greatest orator and leader of the 20th Century who helped save democracy.
It's a pity that this misses out one of the most moving parts of Churchill's last journey. As the funeral barge went past the docks, one by one the huge dockside cranes bowed down in respect. My parents and I watched the coverage on our small black and white TV. At that moment when the cranes bowed, tears trickled down my father's face.
The crane chaps weren't fans im afraid, it came to light in later years that they only managed to persuade them by paying them extra to do so. Saw an interview a while back about it. For the record i am a lover of Churchill.
@Wesley Buirkle millions from bengal died by this bastard and he was very racist to the people of the Indian sub continent, he may have been a good leader for the british but he treated the people from the Indian subcontinent very badly

For those who aren't aware, the Queen waiving her right to enter last is pretty much the highest form of respect the Crown can pay. They are essentially saying his service to the country and his role within it was higher than that of the Royal Family.

@Jan Petersson it was and still is the most horrific shameful episode of human history...but the german people of today should not and can not be held accountable

The brutal british empire went with him (apart from the colonialist mentality still prevalent among her nationalists.) And British council still looting countless nations, bobbies in Northern Ireland carrying firearms unlike everywhere else in the 'uk'.
Churchill was the first prime minister to start migration coming to Britain. He dragged Britain into WW2 at a time when no german bomb had hit Britain, and at a time when the Germans kept making countless offers to stop the war. But this liar, gangster and war criminal Churchill did not want peace - he wanted war. And the British were stupid enough to fall for this villain into war, at a time when the germans were not bombing England back yet, and at a time when the Germans kept offering to stop the war. Remember it was the British who started war on Germany, not the other way round. And it was also the British who had created the Polish-German conflict in Versailles 1919, by forcing 2 millions of Germans under Polish tyranny. Now what a surprise this escalated into war, isn't it. You British people never asked the question: are our leaders really telling us the truth?
Millions of innocents, burnt alive by your beloved murderer and traitor Churchill, went with him, too. Hundreds of thousands of mothers , children and the elderly, burnt alive with NAPALM by British war criminal Winston Churchill: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Bundesarchiv_Bild_183-08778-0001%2C_Dresden%2C_Tote_nach_Bombenangriff.jpg
I was so sad to read so many negative and vitriolic comments from people and would just say that without Churchill free speech would not be there so we wouldn't be reading the negative, or positive comments now.. I lived through those turbulent and dark years when we faced annihilation and I have to say, that there was no one in the English Houses of Parliament that would have equalled this flawed and very human man who in his lifetime made many mistakes, but was there to to steer the Country through until Victory. He was the man for the job. I went up to London on the day of his funeral to say thank you and wish him farewell.
Its not sad at all if you want glorify someone you have to see all they did just because he had a couple years where he did a few good things does not exonerate him of all his other crimes. Of which there were far more.
The most contradictory man in the history of Britannia, but no matter whether your like me who highly respects him, or you morally despise him, there is no doubt. That the history of our great island would not be the same without Sir. Winston Churchill. Britain salutes you despite your faults. And we respect your achievements and your reassuring speeches during our darkest hours. May you Rest not only in peace, but certainly in power.

He approached her and asked why she was upset. Pointing at the ruined buildings, her response was: "If you British had been more reasonable this would never have happened." Some people never learn Mr Smith.
Sir Winston Churchill has been my inspiration all my life. To stand up for what is right regardless. To have a backbone and maintain the fortitude to forge ahead and never give in no matter how tough the situation. Our nation owes him much. He had his faults - no one is perfect. We look to his greatness as he galvanized us and gave us strength in our darkest hours.

I am not a fan of politics or politicians and have never liked the Conservative Party. However, it was highly probable that during World War Two if Neville Chamberlain had remained our Prime Minister he would have surrendered to Hitler around 1940. People like Winston Churchill are very rare and he had outstanding leadership to confront Hitler and lead the country to victory. Respect to the man and he will never be forgotten.
My great grandfather was among those who captured and probably shot at Winston Churchill near Chieveley during the Boer War. He was happy afterwards that his bullet never killed the man who in all likelihood, proved to be instrumental to preserving the freedom of us all.
@John Bull as far as I know, he was the designated successor as leader of the war cabinet. I doubt he would have been allowed to become prime minister, as is often claimed by popular legend. Either way, I don't doubt that he would have made an outstanding successor. How well he would have fared as a military strategian on a global scale, I'm not sure, but my guess would be fairly "adequate." If he had somehow become a political leader, I think he would have shone more brightly. He seems to have had a unique grasp of world politics - at least as good as that of Churchill himself. He also had the guts to do what is wildly unpopular, when doing so was very necessary. He warned against dangers many time which, if heeded, would have changed world history in a very positive way. What he never had, though, was the kind of charisma and personal magnetism that should have made the people love and trust him. Churchill had that. General Smuts had the respect of the people, but not the love. There is a difference. Great leaders usually have mostly one or the other. Exceptional leaders have both. Some would disagree, but that's my opinion.
British...and proud to be so...only because of Winston Churchills strength and determination not to surrender to Hitler. May God bless all who defended our Island .and gave us freedom from a tyrant. Lest we forget.

*His wife said his heart was broke when the British people turned on him after he lead them through such hard times..He didnt want reward, but he was seriously dissed. He could have delt the russians a blow that would have stopped the cold war in it's tracks, if he was trusted to do so..*
«The Russians are so accustomed to the Cold War, that they will not be able to conduct international relations in any other forms. Instead of building modern roads, they threatening peace with war». - Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister (1874-1965)

That comment is the most crass reversal of fact, I have yet to see. You, Sir, by those comments, identify yourself as a poltroon of the first water and render yourself, by your ignorance, unworthy of further comment.
We are talking here about Churchill seems to me people are being pretty civilized exposing his crimes. Whilst others ignore them and glorify this filthy beast.
When old Liz goes it will be different but nonetheless grievous. Her Majesty is not long for this mortal coil, and I hope Charlie will be a worthy successor.
You don't say.......your manners are rather lacking, and I'm not even British. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is a gracious and good woman who has given Britain stable leadership in uncertain times and been a fine representative of all that is great about Britain to the world. I would never call a woman so deserving of respect "old Liz," even if she weren't a Queen. I have no doubt that a future King Charles will be as undignified as he always has been, and create more embarrassment for Britain with his womanizing, much as King Henry VIII did, though I doubt Charles will execute his former lovers LOL.

The greatest British American prime minister. R.I.P Winston Churchill 🙏🏻 🇬🇧🇺🇸
To have theUltimate gift of a final goodbye!
We shall never see his like again. Great Orator
dick head
i well remember watching his state fuueral i was 11 years old and was tranfixed by it on our small tv. They have missed out the most poignent moment when his boat passed the london docks cranes and has his boat moved slowly passed one by one the cranes lowered it was then i understood what a great man he was because no one asked for this to be.........
And as you watch the crowds who lined the streets....
All races ...all colours...all creeds
In respect of a man they never met
But listened to ....

I remember getting a day of school this day
Take me back to that England 💕💕
*His wife said his heart was broke when the British people turned on him after he lead them through such hard times..He didnt want reward, but he was seriously dissed. He could have delt the russians a blow that would have stopped the cold war in it's tracks, if he was trusted to do so..*
AUDE SAPERE that’s pretty 😿. When you do so much for your people and country and thAn your people do that to you.
«The Russians are so accustomed to the Cold War, that they will not be able to conduct international relations in any other forms. Instead of building modern roads, they threatening peace with war». - Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister (1874-1965)
Amazing how many if these comments are dumb, nasty, ignorant, uncivilsed and SO unnecessary! Good grief!
If you are a European, you are probably only alive today because of what Churchill did with the British Army, Navy and Air Force to free Europe from the Nazi yoke. Grow up and be grateful.
That comment is the most crass reversal of fact, I have yet to see. You, Sir, by those comments, identify yourself as a poltroon of the first water and render yourself, by your ignorance, unworthy of further comment.
We are talking here about Churchill seems to me people are being pretty civilized exposing his crimes. Whilst others ignore them and glorify this filthy beast.
Are you Amreican?
@@peterwilson5528 Learn to spell you sewer rat.
We shall fight on the beaches...Sir Winston Churchill. We salute you!
I was taken to his burial place by my father at Bladon, a Great leader
When old Liz goes it will be different but nonetheless grievous. Her Majesty is not long for this mortal coil, and I hope Charlie will be a worthy successor.
You don't say.......your manners are rather lacking, and I'm not even British. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is a gracious and good woman who has given Britain stable leadership in uncertain times and been a fine representative of all that is great about Britain to the world. I would never call a woman so deserving of respect "old Liz," even if she weren't a Queen. I have no doubt that a future King Charles will be as undignified as he always has been, and create more embarrassment for Britain with his womanizing, much as King Henry VIII did, though I doubt Charles will execute his former lovers LOL.
I was there on duty on the road side in my St John's uniform giving tribute to a great man. Alongside John Nolan cadet Officer, Tony Caine Officer in charge of the adults . also other members from Avenue St Portwood Stockport.
If only we had men like this today in politics....
Now the leftist government want to get rid of his statue. Sad times
How pathetic.
no body can replace this great man .we all should remember war and the cost of war
Best prime minister to ever live god bless mr Churchill
britain saw its best two pms in the 40s, churchill and attlee. rip to both
Joseph 25 --bugger Churchill, he was a conniving vile genocidal prick working for the zionists. Read Churchill's war.
Joseph 25 Churchill was a war criminal. Should have been hanged.
Even Bernard, The empire collapsed under Attlee hwo was he one of the best PMs?
Joseph 25 If Winston Churchill were alive today he would check out all these Muslims in England and kick them out they need somebody like him today in England there’s too many people there today who is apologize for everything really doesn’t make any sense🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💰💰💰💰💰
Damn, I wanted to see once again the spontaneous lowering of the cargo cranes as he was carried past.
@4:12 australian prime minister sir robert menzies who resigned in 1966 two years later he later died in 1978
Requiescat In Pace, Sir Winston Churchill.
great leader with the courage and vision.
and frre booze cigars,,list goes on nasty vile hump backed cretin
It says on 4:57 that "The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Their motor accident after the funeral was an unhappy sequel to a day of mourning." I did not know about them getting into an accident after Sir Winston Churchill's funeral.
Maior Britânico de todos os tempos, com todos os méritos
DIEGO NUNES. @@@.- WISTON CHURCHILL fue el MAYOR ASESINO que JAMAS HUBO tenido
INGLATERRA, y los " MERITOS " los obtubo como GENOCIDA. * En yahoo: GHURCHILL GENOCIDA.
They don't even announce the Queen, Prince Philip, and Prince Charles! Totally recognizable. A young Queen. A very young future King. The Queen waives the right to enter first to allow the Churchill family to precede even royalty.
R.i.p our great prime mister
Aww, RIP Winston. 😔💙
Even after 62 years, this is very humbling. I feel a sense of reverence for this man.
How
62
Years
The Issachar of his time: what a Man!😢
A great and courageous man. A savior of humanity.

What a remarkable person!He had a major role in winning the war against Hitler,conceiving so many battle plans with Intelligence Services.....Operation Mincemeat was just one of these.
God rest his noble soul!

Ganz sicher einer der grössten Engländer aller Zeit.
Un gran documento.
A bloody Legend
The scene of cranes lowering in salute is moving. However, according to an interview I saw, the crane operators were paid to lower them because (supposedly) labour detested Churchill. Any truth to this story?
I've heard the same thing.
I think a better case can be made that they had to be paid because it was a Saturday i.e. a day off.
Soul mate. Died when I was born! My old comrade Sagittarius an also a cigars lover!
born 1874---------1965
Whats amazing is how the Queen had the Beatles playing at the funeral? Totally unexpected! Lennon and Harrison regret the performance 10 years after.
Why did they regret it?
Does anyone know the name of the funeral march played as the procession left Westminster hall?
+Spencer UK As the Daily Telegraph's report has it, funeral marches by Chopin, Beethoven and Mendelssohn.

Honor y Gloria a Winston Churchill
The man who saved the world.
@Elberiver11 he didn't murder 50 million people for starters, even if he did would you rather be under Nazi rule? I very highly doubt it.
Very good video
A great man indeed
Who are standing by the coffin in the vigil?
Great man
Required reading: The Last Lion, Winston Spencer Churchill. 1874-1932 Visions of Glory. By William Manchester.
Should read 1962
But I agree with your sentiments.
At 5:3o he says the queen waives her right to enter ...... can some one explain why he said that ?
Not "waves" but "waives" meaning relinquishes...
The sovereign has the right/privilege to arrive at any event last....
On this occasion she relinquished/waived that right to the widow and family
Hebrews Chapter 9 and Verse 27.
4.33 ok boys you can go back...nothin of interest for you...little boys were asleep at this hour!
