The Churchill Society of Halifax

Churchill, starring Brian Cox is now available for streaming on Netflix. Of the two films released in 2017 focusing on Winston Churchill this is the lesser known of the two. It was overshadowed by the now Oscar winning film Darkest Hour, featuring Gary Oldman.

Two Oscars for Darkest Hour, Best Actor and Best Makeup & Hair. Congratulations to Gary Oldman on his first Academy Award!

The Right Honourable Sir Winston Churchill, 1874 - 1965

On this day in 1965 the State Funeral for Winston Churchill was held in London. We posted earlier a video from the Churchill War Rooms from a spectator located on the roadside during the procession. This next video is clips from the official broadcast.

A very interesting perspective of Churchill’s funeral procession on this day in 1965.
