Hi there--

?? I have been searching for this since it happened in 1965. Finally, 
finally, I have found it on YouTube.

? ?It is coverage of Churchill's funeral. The part I have always wanted to 
share is very, very brief, at 3:54 into the film. It shows the cranes lining 
the Thames reverently bowing as the yacht bearing his coffin passes toward 
London Bridge. What better tribute for Britain's Old Man of the Sea?

? ?I swear it is one of the more moving scenes I have ever witnessed.
