Letter to Jack in the Dardanelles 1915

Laid to Rest at St Martin’s Church, Bladon

Black velvet – eternal sleep

The end of my journey

Ready to meet my Maker

January 1, 1970

Churchill’s coffin, draped in the Union Jack, is borne on a gun carriage pulled by a detachment of the Royal Navy and escorted by members of the Royal Air Force and guards regiments as the cortege moves up Whitehall to Trafalgar Square, London.
