Sir Winston Churchill single handedly gave Great Britain the courage and stoic fortitude to fight on against Hitler's Nazi Gremany when virtually all of Western Europe had been conquered.
Upon his death Churchill rightfully received the glory, honor and respect he so richly deserved from a grateful nation. His remains are interred in the ultimate, most prominent place of honor in Westminster's Cathedral = on/under the floor in the very center of the floor at the main entrance to the Cathedral.
Shortly after entering the main entrance to the Cathedral which contains the remains of a host of the nation's historic luminaries, the very first tombstone marker everyone entering encounters is that of Sir Winston Churchill.
I thought that would happen!
The look on Nigel’s face is how we are all feeling...I suspect we all look like that! What a wonderful pic, I want to frame that!
Actually, Sir Winston Churchill is buried at St Martin’s Church in Bladon in the United Kingdom. What is seen at Westminster Abbey is a memorial not a gravesite.
You are quite correct about his funeral though - he was given basically the same funeral as is afforded a King (the only differences were his coffin was draped with a Union Flag, not a Royal Standard, and he received a 19 Gun Salute instead of a 21 Gun Salute).
Thanks. Thank God that little black bastard is outgoing!
It was Obama, and it was something he did early in his first term. What a slap in the face to our greatest ally, and so totally unnecessary.
Love that!
Doors are nice in his house but I hope he doesn’t do that to the White House.
Hopefully, our friends across the pond know the idiot in charge now will be ejected in two months and a sane adult will be back in control of our Nation once again, not since 1980...
Still in a happy kind of shock here. So Many good things are possible now.
And of course the President’s approval rating. Expect comparisons if they make Trump look bad. etc etc
It was Uncle John Trump (MIT Professor) who developed the radar that saved the British Empire during WWII. Uncle John was a friend of Churchill. You betcha the bust will be returned !
Time the media told the entire story of UNCLE JOHN — a true scientific hero to radar and the development of medical radiation
I honestly didn’t think he’d pull it off on Election Day. Despite all of the crowds, the resonating message, and my gut, I’ve seen Charlie Brown miss the football election after election. This time he kicked it. Game on!
Excellent observation. You are spot on!
Love the photo! How joyous to have a president who is not miserable, but whose smile is real, and he brings a smile to others!
Have a little read of this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_radar
It will be wonderful to see Britain make progress against the tide of beasts overrunning their islands and bad decisions made by foreign tyrants. Same here.
We will be seeing polls from the NYT and Washington Post on Trump’s job performance and approval numbers by Christmas. They have to lay the groundwork for the next four years of negative reporting.
I really believe that was more than a typical election night. That was a spiritual battle in the background and divine intervention which had the final word. What we feel is more than bliss to have seen our candidate win. We are in awe of seeing God’s hand at work in answering prayers for our nation!
