Silent crowds lined the streets to watch the gun carriage bearing Sir Winston’s coffin leave Westminster Hall as Big Ben struck 0945. Sir Winston died six days ago, following a stroke earlier in the month from which he never regained consciousness. The mourners were led by Sir Winston’s wife, Lady Clementine Churchill, his son Randolph and daughters Mary Soames and Lady Sarah Audley. From Waterloo, it was placed onto a train drawn by a Battle of Britain locomotive named Winston Churchill. Another grandson, Winston Churchill, served as a Tory MP until 1997 when he lost his seat.
