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.

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.
As an American, I am humbled by the greatnesses of this man, his contribution to the world, and the majesty of Great Britain. May he forever Rest In Peace.
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.

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

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
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

We surely need our idols. Forget not that at worst of times, there were the simple, humble, less literate people at the churches praying to the LORD of glory, the Eternal King to succor them. The LORD hears His people if they come unto Him.

@@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....

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.

Better to have all separate and sovereign nations that use computer apps to translate language, currencies and trade agreements.

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.
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.
It is impossible not to tear up. A man who lived and died long before my time, in a country far away, whose strength and determination shaped the world I live in today. Thank you.
Mike Norval - My sentiments exactly ... I am seventy one years of age, a military veteran, and I am overwhelmed at the contributions of Winston Churchill and those of his age. He is an inspiration to me and I hope also to our future generation.
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 :)

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
It’s sad seeing the older folks in the crowd knowing many of them have passed as well. A great generation no Facebook, no internet rage just blood and guts hard work...
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)

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.
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.
Tintanium also comparing Churchill the man who rallied his country and fought of radical tyranny to Stalin the man who killed and starved his own people shows how much or a moron you are
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 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
Please don't forget the night bombing from May 1940 to May 1945, the phosphorus bombs "only" hit women, children, old and injured soldiers in Germany. He was the first to start the bombing war against civilians, yeah what a "great" man!
@@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.

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.
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.
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 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.
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....
As an Australian, people around the world have been critical about Britain and its Empire. Though no society is perfect at least the English brought human rights to all its colonies. If we look at the world today, most of England's former colonies are the most stable countries in their region.
What a load of biased bullshit view, you mean to say colonialism and subjugation of nations brought in peace? Your delusion is befitting of a descendant of exiled criminals. Britain has redrawn the map of the world causing conflicts till this day

I, a greek salute you, o noblest of the noble British. You were the architect of our victory in the war, a man with flaws. But these flaws surpassed many other peoples virtues. 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.
As an Indian, I'm aware of his views and behavior of and towards India and it's people. That said, he is still a great man, who accomplished a lot and did more deliberate good than his inadvertant bad actions. I think we in the modern world are too busy looking at all the negatives of great men and women of the past, completely overlooking the great deeds that outshine their flaws Only someone morally bankrupt would sully his name and disgrace any memorial of him
Well said. I read extensively into Churchill throughout my time at university studying Britain and its imperial history. He had his flaws, as we all do, but the world would be very different if it wasn’t for Sir Winston Churchill. Many criticise him for comments he made during the time of the Bengal famine, without recognising those comments were made off record to subordinates. Churchill actually did all he could to help the Indians. He felt that no matter what he did people would always be unsatisfied. With the weight of the world resting on his shoulders, India’s demand for supplies exceeded what the British could sustain. He tried, and tried, but was continually criticised. I think we all have been guilty of making snide remarks when under stress. Yet, none of us have led the only freely standing nation against a tyrannical regime on its doorstep; and a regime backed by the greatest military force the world has ever seen. Churchill never once wished bad on the Indian people. His comments were unworthy of him, and as Sir Martin Gilbert documented the truth about Churchill, they were not a reflection of his actual feelings, nor his actions. The famine would have been substantially worse if it wasn’t for Churchill. Much of that truth is disregarded nowadays, saturated out by quotes duly noted by his subordinates and taken completely out of context. There is a fantastic article that highlights just how much he did to try and help Bengalis. It’s a great read if anyone wishes to inform themselves: winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/did-churchill-cause-the-bengal-famine/
That is very generous of you, sir. As a woman I am not especially pro-Churchill - he was antifemale suffrage after all. And neither am I a Tory, but he was the right man at the right time. We have German ancestry as well as a huge French input, if primarily to the upper classes, but Churchill united us and drove us forward even though we were on our knees. Had we lost I hate to think what might have happened to the British Empire given how Germany treated its West African colonies.
@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.
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.
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.
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

Martin Hertsius: This music, which is from a national hymn 'I vow to thee my country', is very moving to me also.

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.
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 😢
From Hong Kong: Thank you, Winston Churchill. In the Battle of Hong Kong, the British army defended our soil to the death, until the last minute. Churchill taught us to never give up, to never compromise with tyranny and authoritarian bullies. Hong Kong will never give up its demands for freedom and democracy.

Like work, support a family, go to school to better themselves or work with underprivileged children? No, I guess not. Then they wouldn't have the time to cause all that trouble.
@K90_ 2019 Lol, you cant even debate properly you are so dismissive of other people's rebuttals, you cant even back up your claims, which the bengal famine was caused by 3 main factors, a flood in the region which caused crop loss, loss of rice imports from Burma since the Japanese occupied it and the scorched earth tactic used by retreating British soldiers whenever the Japanese gained territory.

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.

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. May God bring glory and prosperity to all the British nation and I hope God gave Sir Winston Churchil a glorious entrance to his kingdom.

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.

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

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.

+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

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
It is impossible not to tear up. A man who lived and died long before my time, in a country far away, whose strength and determination shaped the world I live in today. Thank you.

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.

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'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.
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.

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 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.

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.

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.
As an Indian, I'm aware of his views and behavior of and towards India and it's people. That said, he is still a great man, who accomplished a lot and did more deliberate good than his inadvertant bad actions.
I think we in the modern world are too busy looking at all the negatives of great men and women of the past, completely overlooking the great deeds that outshine their flaws
Only someone morally bankrupt would sully his name and disgrace any memorial of him
What a brilliant comment. Its rare to find such intelligent balanced opinions on youtube.
Well said. I read extensively into Churchill throughout my time at university studying Britain and its imperial history. He had his flaws, as we all do, but the world would be very different if it wasn’t for Sir Winston Churchill. Many criticise him for comments he made during the time of the Bengal famine, without recognising those comments were made off record to subordinates. Churchill actually did all he could to help the Indians. He felt that no matter what he did people would always be unsatisfied. With the weight of the world resting on his shoulders, India’s demand for supplies exceeded what the British could sustain. He tried, and tried, but was continually criticised. I think we all have been guilty of making snide remarks when under stress. Yet, none of us have led the only freely standing nation against a tyrannical regime on its doorstep; and a regime backed by the greatest military force the world has ever seen. Churchill never once wished bad on the Indian people. His comments were unworthy of him, and as Sir Martin Gilbert documented the truth about Churchill, they were not a reflection of his actual feelings, nor his actions. The famine would have been substantially worse if it wasn’t for Churchill. Much of that truth is disregarded nowadays, saturated out by quotes duly noted by his subordinates and taken completely out of context. There is a fantastic article that highlights just how much he did to try and help Bengalis. It’s a great read if anyone wishes to inform themselves: winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/did-churchill-cause-the-bengal-famine/
That is very generous of you, sir. As a woman I am not especially pro-Churchill - he was antifemale suffrage after all. And neither am I a Tory, but he was the right man at the right time. We have German ancestry as well as a huge French input, if primarily to the upper classes, but Churchill united us and drove us forward even though we were on our knees. Had we lost I hate to think what might have happened to the British Empire given how Germany treated its West African colonies.
Thank you sir.

@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.
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.
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 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.

Who else is here after them bastards vandalised his statue 😢😢😢
Me. When he died, I wasn't born yet, but I have read books and seen movies about WW2, and that era was insane! Mr. Churchill wasn't perfect, but he was part of the war effort that helped Britain and the Allies win WW2. Don't those guttersnipes have more important things to do? Like work, support a family, go to school to better themselves or work with underprivileged children? No, I guess not. Then they wouldn't have the time to cause all that trouble.
That Vandalism was a disgusting national scandal
yes bastards. this video bought a tear x
K90_ 2019 good
@K90_ 2019 Lol, you cant even debate properly you are so dismissive of other people's rebuttals, you cant even back up your claims, which the bengal famine was caused by 3 main factors, a flood in the region which caused crop loss, loss of rice imports from Burma since the Japanese occupied it and the scorched earth tactic used by retreating British soldiers whenever the Japanese gained territory.
I'm Italian but for Churchill and UK always feeling a great respect and admiration... One of the greatest nation in the world... No surrender ❤️🇬🇧
Greetings from Rome
"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
Yes he had his flaws, but my God what would we have done without him?!
@wonderfulnmarvelous German beer is excellent and, so my wife says, all sausages are “gag-making”.
That is the most accurate evaluation! I’ve taught politics and history as a British Italian and have no time for myths... but it’s is so true
we'd be soviet, which would be even better.
Name a man who is without? God is our judge and let any man without sin cast the first stone.
@@supertrinigamer well thank God good men stood up and gave everything in that fight of good against evil, light against darkness and that men like Churchill roared ! God save the Queen!
As an Italian permit me to show my infinite gratitude to this fabulous man, the best politician of the last century, in my opinion. He saved my country also from the nazi and fascist barbarians. I was born ten years after his death, but I ask to myself what kind of life could have been without a similar hero. For ever my gratitude! Like our nations, enemies in a little time in the past, but much more than friends for ever. 🇮🇹🇬🇧❤️
I fear after the passing of the Queen we have no other man or woman in the world who we can call great or whom we will mourn with such respect.
An empire's steadfast rock, ever kind, ever blessed has gone past down the stream.
Rest in Peace, Elizabeth Windsor, Queen of England. May God in his infinite wisdom and mercy grant you peace, and eternal rest.
Requiescet in pace.
*United Kingdom*
*UK/Commonwealth* now
I'm not British, and I'm not a member of the Commonwealth either. I love the UK. But this made me cry, because I know that this man, is possibly the best leader the world could have in such a dark age, rest in peace, Sir Winston Churchill. I hope to obtain British citizenship one day and thus come to see you and honor you in person, as the hero that you are, not only for the UK, but for humanity. God bless the UK, God bless the Queen, and God bless Winston Churchill.
Its people like you that we need here. Regardless of birth..a true Brit.
I am japanese.
I like Winston Churchill.
Because His speech is Get courage.
I send this word to him
"さらば、英雄”
"Goodbye, Hero" Yes, thank you.
Courage and honesty are 2 great values.
勇気と誠実さは二つの大きな価値
I am in Japan right now - you have a beautiful country. You will forever have us as friends. Love from America!!!
SubSovereign Especially for hiroshima?! Damn killers!

From across the pond, this American salutes Sir Winston Churchill. God bless the United Kingdom.
thecaptain134 thank you !
When some wanted to throw in the towel, as so many other countries had already done, this great man said no. We fight to the end. We fight for freedom. Thank you Sir.
