You may notice something familiar about the procedure.
I was in military then, and the only difference between the funerals was, our drill and dressing was better than yesterdays!!  |
Can't say that they were the Pathe' films or not...but yes. I've seen clips of Sir Winston Churchill's funeral. The part that I most vividly remember is when the barge carrying the coffin proceeded downriver, the construction cranes bowed as it passed.
Powerful, and touching.
Not a Brit, but I know as much or more about Churchill as anyone, studying his life and career extensively while in college as well as following. I don't know if the modern world really knows just how much it owes to that man.
