Homage to a Great Man: Sir Winston Churchill
This 'anthology' of pictures, poetry and prose tells the story of Winston Churchill's life and work. Richard Dimbleby narrates the film, with assistance from actors including Laurence Olivier and Jack Hawkins.
This tribute to Winston Churchill aired on BBC1 at 8.30am and began the BBC's coverage on the morning of his state funeral. Due to the short time between Churchill's death and the broadcast, the Radio Times produced a special commemorative issue that omitted listings for the Saturday. Instead, a map of the funeral procession's route was published.
