Winston Churchill - Funeral

Time: Saturday Jan 30, 1965

Place: England, United Kingdom

Details: Churchill was given a state funeral six days later on 30 January, the first for a non-royal person since W. E. Gladstone in 1898. Planning for Churchill's funeral had begun in 1953 under the code-name of "Operation Hope Not" and a detailed plan had been produced by 1958. His coffin lay in state at Westminster Hall for three days and the funeral ceremony was at St Paul's Cathedral. Afterwards, the coffin was taken by boat along the River Thames to Waterloo Station and from there by a special train to the family plot at St Martin's Church, Bladon, near his birthplace at Blenheim Palace.
