jlaurson et al, this was two years before Strauss' 'Also sprach Zarathustra' was used for '2001: A Space Odyssey' so it would not have seemed strange at the time. In fact, forget the associations with space and it seems an entirely fitting piece.

Unlike the current Prime Ministers of this country, this man actualyl went to war, he knew what his soldiers wanted, he knew what the faced, and damn he did a good job about it.
Rest In Peace Winston Churchill
May god always smile at you

how strangely inappropriate to play Richard Strauss for the opening. :-)

agreed

could have been worse... Wagner might have been the ultimate "faux pas"!

Thanks for posting this historic moment!

A man who always felt he was there for destiny. A man who achieved more than most soldiers, more than most journalists and more than most politicians. A man we can all look to. Thank you, Sir Winston, for allowing the free world to live.
