Mary Soames died yesterday with her family by her side
A hell of a pedigree and, from the article, a hell of a legacy.
RIP and say hi to Dad for all of us who are free.
I can only imagine the stories,, of bourbon and drunken bulldogs, cigar smoke wafting in the air,, of holidays in a bunker..
RIP Mary
He may have died, but half the babies born in the world look just like him at some stage in their infancy.
Rest in Peace, Mary Soames. Your father, Sir Winston Churchill, was and is always to be a Man Walking in Greatness. May it always be even if History is rewritten.
70th anniversary of Normandy is coming up. The British and Americans will commemorate in France. There were supposed to be some WW2 American veterans flying over there at the expense of the French Government, but the organization either changed it’s mind, or did not fully authorize the travel offer in the first place. Pity.
Churchill. The only non socialist WW2 Ally leader.
I saw her on documentary on Manor house on PBS
Talk about her relations with her American side
Few people know that Churchill was a native-born, though not necessarily natural born, American citizen till he turned 21. At that point he had to choose which citizenship he would go with, and he of course chose British.
Had he been born in USA instead of UK, he would have been in exactly the same citizenship situation as our present Leader.
Never forget, WSC was 50% American by birth.
Mary Soames looks like a chip off the old block. She’s got a real bulldog look about her. A great conservative lady, God bless her.
Rest in peace.
Truly a lady. Rest in peace.
