    CHURCHILL

    On this day in 1965 Sir Winston Churchill died at the age of 90, with his wife Lady Clementine Churchill and other members of the family at his bedside.
    Churchill was a great soldier and leader as Prime Minister during WW2 and again later.

    What saddens me is the vandalism that has occurred again, not only to his statue, but also to Bomber Commands statue too in central London.

    This ex soldier in 2000 was responsible for defacing his statue then:
