Watched with my dad ( he served in the 8th army in WW2) on a black and white TV. I finally visited his grave in 2015. He was our greatest citizen. The messages, flowers and cards from foreign Leaders on that gravestone was incredible. That's 70 years on. I was moved to tears. Thank you for saving the world from the Nazis.
The whole world owes the British people an eternal debt of gratitude for giving us this man when we needed him most. We owe to Winston Churchill the future in who’s light we are allowed to stand in freedom. It’s hard to remain resolute, to hold at bay this creeping dispair. To witness lesser men with lesser motives cast stones at him from the shadows of very freedom he provided. I am grateful, I will not give up hope, I’ve learned the lesson. Thank you from an American.

It's a pity that this misses out one of the most moving parts of Churchill's last journey. As the funeral barge went past the docks, one by one the huge dockside cranes bowed down in respect. My parents and I watched the coverage on our small black and white TV. At that moment when the cranes bowed, tears trickled down my father's face.

Churchill was the first prime minister to start migration coming to Britain. He dragged Britain into WW2 at a time when no german bomb had hit Britain, and at a time when the Germans kept making countless offers to stop the war. But this liar, gangster and war criminal Churchill did not want peace - he wanted war. And the British were stupid enough to fall for this villain into war, at a time when the germans were not bombing England back yet, and at a time when the Germans kept offering to stop the war. Remember it was the British who started war on Germany, not the other way round. And it was also the British who had created the Polish-German conflict in Versailles 1919, by forcing 2 millions of Germans under Polish tyranny. Now what a surprise this escalated into war, isn't it. You British people never asked the question: are our leaders really telling us the truth?

I was so sad to read so many negative and vitriolic comments from people and would just say that without Churchill free speech would not be there so we wouldn't be reading the negative, or positive comments now.. I lived through those turbulent and dark years when we faced annihilation and I have to say, that there was no one in the English Houses of Parliament that would have equalled this flawed and very human man who in his lifetime made many mistakes, but was there to to steer the Country through until Victory. He was the man for the job. I went up to London on the day of his funeral to say thank you and wish him farewell.

I am not a fan of politics or politicians and have never liked the Conservative Party. However, it was highly probable that during World War Two if Neville Chamberlain had remained our Prime Minister he would have surrendered to Hitler around 1940. People like Winston Churchill are very rare and he had outstanding leadership to confront Hitler and lead the country to victory. Respect to the man and he will never be forgotten.

@John Bull as far as I know, he was the designated successor as leader of the war cabinet. I doubt he would have been allowed to become prime minister, as is often claimed by popular legend. Either way, I don't doubt that he would have made an outstanding successor. How well he would have fared as a military strategian on a global scale, I'm not sure, but my guess would be fairly "adequate." If he had somehow become a political leader, I think he would have shone more brightly. He seems to have had a unique grasp of world politics - at least as good as that of Churchill himself. He also had the guts to do what is wildly unpopular, when doing so was very necessary. He warned against dangers many time which, if heeded, would have changed world history in a very positive way. What he never had, though, was the kind of charisma and personal magnetism that should have made the people love and trust him. Churchill had that. General Smuts had the respect of the people, but not the love. There is a difference. Great leaders usually have mostly one or the other. Exceptional leaders have both. Some would disagree, but that's my opinion.
great leader with the courage and vision.
