Time: Wednesday Feb 6, 1952

Place: Sandringham House, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom

Details: Churchill was nearly 77 when he took office and was not in good health following several minor strokes. By December, George VI had become concerned about Churchill's decline and intended to ask him to stand down in favor of Eden, but the King had his own serious health issues and died on 6 February without making the request.
