- This remarkable film of Sir Winston Churchill's State Funeral shows more of the original broadcast of January 1965 than ever before. The coverage bears witness to the reverence for Britain's great war-leader, shown in every gesture and every word by all those who took part in the nation's tribute on that bitterly cold day.
