They were just uncheck the eight o'clock in the morning 24 January 1965 when Winston Churchill died at his home in Hyde Park Gate in London. Two weeks before had been suffered a stroke. Queen Elizabeth said “We are all poorer”. French President Charles De Gaulle said “Britain will not be the great power that is”. Had 90 years. 56 passed to the side of his beloved Clementine, to which he wrote love notes to an old age. Two years before his death wrote to his wife on the occasion of his 78 years old:

My darling one, This is only to give you my foundest love and kisses a hundred times repeated. I am a pretty dull and paltry scribbler; but my stick as it writes carriers my heart along with it. Your ever & always W

(which sounds pretty much like)

My darling, This is just to give you my most ardent love and kisses repeated a hundred times. I am a hack rather dull and miserable; but my pen while writing carries my heart. Yours forever W

Loved so much writing in the evening, having sipped champagne. He was a history buff. After writing historical works won a Nobel Prize for literature in 1953. Was an officer of the British army. Yes, He was also a brilliant politician, for sixty years, but it would be simplistic to just categorize them as such. In his history he crossed numerous defeats. Especially those elections. Late comedian and had almost taking a cue from their own experience “Success is the ability to move from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm“. Also unexpected electoral defeats and painful, just like that after the end of World War II. War when he took my hand England savaged terribly by the enemy on the beaches of Dunkirk and led to her resurrection and victory. He crossed those tragic years acting as a single point of accountability. Choosing the bluntness of a harsh language, honest and with the foresight that has always distinguished it bunched up the English people wounded and made him stronger. His political stature found its most popular expression in’ implementation of certain social reforms such as the minimum wage, the eight hours of work, aid to the unemployed.

He saw in communism a just Division of misery, as seen in capitalism an unfair division of wealth. Winston Churchill was a legendary figure for his time. The greatest child that England had, And that, gratitude several people made in the years of his loads I brought the name. For example, a man named John Winston Lennon born nell’ October 1940. When in 1964 the legendary leader left forever from public life the young John Winston Lennon with his musical group (Beatles) hit the first worldwide success with I want to hold your hand, but that's another story.
