I remember his funeral as well, I was nine. I remember my mom watching it on network TV. The funeral was as big a deal as that pop culture royal wedding was. I just finished listening to the audible version of Churchill’s history of WWII. They found a guy to read it who sounds like Churchill and mimicked his mannerisms. Highly recommend reading or listening to all six volumes.
This is a good place to add a link to one of the greatest essays about Churchill ever written.
In the Atlantic (when it was worthy) Isaiah Berlin wrote asn essay defending earlier criticism of Churchill’s grandiloquent style of prose — the essay became so much more.

Also “The Valiant Years” — a TV series from around 1960, narrated by Richard Burton.
