Churchill: The Nation’s Farewell

　　This fascinating documentary will tell the story of that momentous day, 30 January 1965, when Britain laid its most famous statesman to rest.
　　In the programme, Jeremy Paxman meets a wide range of people who were involved in the events of that day – from soldiers who bore the coffin, to members of Churchill’s family. He also hears from Boris Johnson, author of a new book on Churchill, and from a London docker who remembers that some had misgivings about saluting the passing coffin with their cranes. In exploring the legacy of Sir Winston’s extraordinary political life, Jeremy investigates what Churchill means to Britain today, half a century after our nation mourned the death of the man whom many still regard as Britain’s greatest statesman.
