Winston Churchill: Last News

Sunday 6 February 2022 marks a special and sad day for The Queen. Not only is it 70 years since the passing of her father, King George VI's death in 1952, but of course it is also the day she stepped up into her role as Queen.  And as the historic day 70 years ago unfolded, a new Royal protocol was established about how the family should be prepared for attending a funeral. Her Majesty was informed of the death of her beloved father during an official royal tour of Kenya in 1952, where she was accompanied by Prince Philip.

The Queen's has now reached a colossal 70 years on the throne.Her Majesty ascended to the Crown upon the death of her father George VI and has since become the country's longest-reigning monarch.Her unusually long reign, the second-longest ever behind French King Louis XIV, who ruled for 72 years, is in part due to her father's poor health.George had a range of ailments and illnesses including lung cancer and had to have a lung removed. He died while Elizabeth was touring Kenya with now late-husband Prince Philip.Becoming the leader of the world's most famous family and monarchy at such a young age was remarkable and slightly unexpected, despite the King's ill health.So how young was the Queen, what happened and how old was she when she took the throne?The Queen came to the throne in 1952 on February 6.We celebrate the jubilee on June 2, however, as this is when the Queen was crowned at Westminster Abbey.The Queen was in Kenya at the time of her father's death and returned to London to be greeted by then Prime Minister Winston Churchill.The Guardian reported: "Prince Philip reacted as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt.

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, reacted to news that four people who were accused of illegally removing a statue of Edward Colston in Bristol cleared of criminal damage.Sage Willoughby, Rhian Graham, Milo Ponsford and Jake Skuse were charged after the monument of the 17th Century slave trader was torn down and pushed into the harbourside last June during a Black Lives Matter protest in the city, and the Clarkson's Farm star appeared to wonder where actions like this would end.The four claimed the statue of the English merchant, who sold slaves, was a "hate crime" in itself.Sharing his views in his latest column for The Sun, The Grand Tour star pondered the future, while taking a swipe at former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who faced damaging anti-semitism scandals.Jeremy penned: "Four young people were acquitted this week of causing criminal damage, even though they admitted they were involved as the statue of a slave trader ended up in Bristol Harbour."They argued the statue itself was a “hate crime” and, obviously, the jury agreed with them."This, of course, means the statue of Sir Winston Churchill which stands in London’s Parliament Square will soon be at the bottom of the Thames.
