  • Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, (November
    30, 1874 January 24, 1965) was a British
    polition known chiefly for his leadership of the
    United Kingdom during World War II. He served as
    Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to
    1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. A noted
    statesman and orator, Churchill was also an
    officer in the British Army, a historian, a Nobel
    Prize-winning writer, and an artist.

  • After the outbreak of the Second World War,
    Churchill was again appointed First Lord of the
    Admiralty. Following the resignation of Neville
    Chamberlain on May 10, 1940, he became Prime
    Minister of the United Kingdom and led Britain to
    victory against the Axis powers. Churchill was
    always noted for his speeches, which became a
    great inspiration to the British people and
    embattled Allied forces.

  • On 15 January 1965, Churchill suffered a severe
    stroke that left him gravely ill. He died at his
    home nine days later, at age 90, on the morning
    of Sunday 24 January 1965, coincidentally 70
    years to the day after his father's death. By
    decree of the Queen, his body lay in state for
    three days and a state funeral service was held
    at St Paul's Cathedral. This was the first state
    funeral for a non-royal family member since 1914,
    and no other of its kind has been held since.
