  • Sir Winston Churchill, the British statesman, soldier, and writer who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the Second World War, died on 24 January 1965, aged 90. His was the first state funeral in the United Kingdom for a non-member of the Royal Family since Edward Carson's in 1935. It was the last state funeral until Queen Elizabeth II's on 19 September 2022. The official funeral lasted for four days. Planning for the funeral, known as Operation Hope Not, began 12 years before Churchill's death. It was initiated after Churchill's stroke in 1953 while in his second term, as the wartime prime minister of the United Kingdom. After several revisions due to Churchill's continued survival (mainly because "the pallbearers kept dying", explained Lord Mountbatten), the plan was issued on 26 January 1965, two days after his death. By decree of Queen Elizabeth II, his body lay in state at Westminster Hall for three days from 26 January. On 30 January, the order of funeral was held at St Paul's Cathedral. From there the body was transported by water along the River Thames to Waterloo station, accompanied by military salutations. In the afternoon he was buried at St Martin's Churchyard at Bladon, the resting place of his ancestors and his brother. Attended by representatives from 120 countries, 6,000 people, and (unusually) by the Queen, more than 1,000 police and security personnel, involving nine military bands, 18 military battalions, 16 Royal Air Force English Electric Lightning fighter jets, a special boat MV Havengore and a funeral train hauled by Winston Churchill, homage paid by 321,360 people, and witnessed by over 350 million people, it was the largest state funeral in history. It was remarked "as demonstrating the British genius for public spectacle." (en)
  • Winston Churchill est décédé le 24 janvier 1965, à l'âge de 90 ans. Il s'agissait des premières funérailles d'État pour une personnalité non membre de la famille royale depuis Edward Carson, et elles resteront les plus récentes funérailles d'État au Royaume-Uni jusqu'à celles de la reine Élisabeth II le 19 septembre 2022. Les funérailles officielles ont duré quatre jours. La planification des funérailles, connues sous le nom d'« Operation Hope Not » a commencé 12 ans avant la mort de Churchill. Elle a été initiée après l'attaque cérébrale de Churchill en 1953, alors qu'il était dans son second mandat de premier ministre du Royaume-Uni. Après plusieurs révisions dues à la survie de Churchill (principalement parce que « les porteurs de cercueils mouraient l'un après l'autre », a expliqué Lord Mountbatten), le plan a été publié le 26 janvier 1965, deux jours après sa mort. Par décret de la reine Elisabeth II, le corps de Winston Churchill est exposé dans la chapelle ardente du Palais de Westminster pendant trois jours à partir du 26 janvier. Le 30 janvier, l'ordre des funérailles a eu lieu à la Cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres. De là, le corps est transporté par voie fluviale le long de la Tamise jusqu'à la gare de Waterloo, accompagné de salutation militaire. Dans l'après-midi, il a été enterré au cimetière de Saint-Martin à Bladon, lieu de repos de ses ancêtres et de son frère. En présence de représentant de 120 pays, de 6 000 personnes, et exceptionnellement de la Reine, de plus de 1000 policiers et agent de sécurité, de neuf fanfares militaires, de 18 bataillons militaires, de 16 avions de chasse Lighning électrique anglais de la Royal Air Force, d'un bateau spécial MV havengore et d'un train tiré par Winston Churchill, 321 360 personnes lui ont rendu hommage et plus de 350 millions de personnes ont assistés aux funérailles d'État les plus importantes de l'histoire. Il a été remarqué « comme démontrant le génie britannique pour le spectacle public ». (fr)
