God bless Churchill and a whole generation across the globe that stood against evil! Do not forget our history or it will be repeated!

As a German I would like to state „What a great man“. After his speech, Germany had lost the war psychologically. Against this man and his followers, no evil had a real chance anymore. And although my country suffered bitterly, I am happy he succeeded in inspiring resistance and triggered confidence in dark times. How good it would be to have politicians like him around nowadays. But wherever you look, especially in Germany, not even lower average quality. Despite the Brexit drama, I like the British and I am happy we have them as friends around in Europe. Cheers.

How desperately we need a Sir Winston Churchill now. I love England the Country of my birth, but I weep for it right now. I was born after the War, my late Husband served in the RAF during the Burma Campaign. So very sad to see England and whats being done to her. God Bless England.

Englands finest, there will never be another Churchill, he will always be a hero, his speeches & courage will be remebered for many generations

RIP, Uncle Phil, died in his Spitfire as one of "The Few". I never met you, but I will always miss you.

What a wonderful piece of music. Very emotional. Churchill was a master orator. A wonderful leader. We need a leader today like him today. Not the spinless career politicians that we have. RIP her Majesty the Queen. Long live the King.

I'm an American and he still made me shed a tear. Truly a master of the English language.

Your country needs a man like you in 2023, rest in peace sir. and thank you for your service..

Not many better than this man have graced this planet !

You just do not hear such 'cadences' anymore. His command of words was poetic, powerful and inspiring. Touched by St Michael, the ArchAngel.

If it was not for this man the world would be a different place! God bless you Sir Winston Churchill your country needs you again.

I'm English and so very proud to have been born in the same country as this gentleman, Sir Winston Churchill, England's most famous son - God Bless you Winston, may you rest in peace

( An American, speaking here)….. Sir Winston was clearly the Man of the Century !

Sir Winston Churchill, you were never needed more than today

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” He even thanked the fighter pilots, Bomber Crews and every military personnel whatever branch they served in...this just melts my heart

Damn we need Winston now. A REAL PM. A true patriot.

I'm French, but when I listen to Sir Winston Churchill, I'm British, What a great man! You can be proud of him.

This makes me feel so patriotic for my country England. Even though all around this Nation there are those so intent on destroying it and our culture.

My dads died from his injuries from Dunkirk. my uncle Howard willis died on the carrier Dasher. Mr Churchil was indeed the Greatest English man. Thank you Sir for all you did.

We will never forget the words of the Canadian Prime Minister when we asked for their help "No price too high" Thank you Canada.

Thank you sir, on your 144th birthday, for all you did for your country and its people.

Oh how Britain needs a man like this now in 2019,

Mr churchill you give me so much pride when i hear you speak thank you we shall never surrender

Without a shred of doubt the most important icon of the 20th century. Thanks Sir Winston Churchill.🇬🇧👍😀

Oh how this country needs someone like Winston now.

we in holland must never forget that thanks to england and this great men we are still free and we overcome the second war thank you thank you with al my heart.

"We shall defend our island home, whatever the cost may be"... Yes, Winston.

Sir Winston Churchill. You were a 'master human being'. We need your spirit all over the world today. As an African American male, your spirit is a gift to the world. A pure spiritual gift to all of us.

One of the top 3 persons of the 20th Century. We, who are old enough to remember him, were fortunate to have such a man as Churchill at the helm. May Almighty God Bless him and all such as him.

When an older person like me reads comments from much younger Brits', comments laced with such cynicism and utter contempt about something they know nothing about, I feel saddened. I was born in the second world war. I remember the ration books, queuing with my mother for two fresh eggs, and two bananas that had come through on the first fruit shipment from the Caribbean at the end of the war. I remember Atlee and Churchill, the Queen's coronation, the coming of black and white television and helping our neighbours grind in the engine valves on their thirty year old bangers (those who were lucky to have a car)while my mates played in the cobbled streets - jam and bread for breakfast, jam and bread for lunch and jam and bread for tea. holidays in Blackpool or Weymouth if you was lucky! I remember cold harsh winters with no coal, my father making a fire out of paper, old shoes and old wood found in woods - just so the family could all have a hot bath. We did not consider ourselves poor - just that there was very little in the shops for the ordinary people to buy! Everyone was in the same boat - that's what made the difference! Street parties were common place. we all felt optimistic for a better future. And, by golly, look what we enjoy today! The standards of living for the ordinary Brits' are a galaxy away from that enjoyed back in the 1950's. The ordinary people of today enjoy a standard of living that even the so called middle and upper classes could only dream of back then. What our parents and grand parents fought for was for freedom and liberty - yes! But, more to the truth, it was for a better world for their grand-children, and their children too! So, that's where we are today! It was Winston Churchill who invited peoples from the colonial countries to come and live in Great Britain, saying that those who had fought for the British cause, no matter from whence they came would be welcome to come and set up a new life on British shores. If Churchill and his contemporaries could come back to see what life was like today - they would shake their heads - amazed on the advances in social welfare, harmony and personal wealth. As a child, through to my mid twenties, my parents lived in rented accommodation, like most people - then, in the social revolution of the 1960's life changed for the better. People were working, on good wages, for the first time in British history the working people had the opportunity to buy their own homes. Sadly, for today's youth, cynicism and lack of understanding what role they should play in society is, perhaps, not their fault - more likely to be too much of a good thing, not knowing what is truly a bad thing - poverty.

I am old enough to remember you sir and for all said about you youre country came first.todays generation could learn a lot

I listen to this every week for absolute inspiration. Poetry!!

This sends a shiver down my spine. A beautiful piece of poignant music and the wonderful tribute speech by Winston Churchill. We owe them so very much, the amazing wartime generation. Cant wait to pay tribute to them on May 8th, VE Day 75. God bless them all.

The hairs stand up when I listen to this. I think of that my grandparents generation who lived and fought through the war! So proud to be an Englishman !!

What a powerful speech, accompanied by Nimrod. Very moving.

This music must have been made for Churchill it fits him like a glove, when he say's "We shall never surrender" you know he was born just for this moment.

Vincent, as an older Brit I just felt a need to assure our Canadian friends that some of us understand and are eternally grateful for the considerable sacrifices made by Canada. There is between us a bond that time will never weaken.

Thank you, sir, for everything you did for us.

What a man, What a leader!

"Winnie" you were one of our finest. Britain always seem to find someone in times of need that stands out above the rest,so proud to be British.

What a brilliant man.. & I’m an Irish man☘️🇨🇮

My family lived, fought and died for our tiny island. I’m so proud to be English. Imagine hearing that speech over the wireless.

A brave man the British nation needed in hard times!❤

Makes me proud to be british. And a tear to my eye. Long live the people of great britain. I salute you all.

So moving to hear the voice of such an amazing man. It touches me so much to hear him, knowing that through such a dark sad time, he kept up the fight and led his country to victory. Amazing that millions of men from across the world fought bravely for what we have today. Thank to all. Never should we take democracy for granted.

Truly, never was so much owed by so many to few! To those of the older generation who think they have been forgotten by the youth of today, know that we are not all so foolhardy. And that there will always be those of us who remember with great reverence “the few.”

Oh how we need a leader like this now!

No matter what country you are from and no matter what year or even century you have been born, when mr Churchill speaks, he speaks not only to that brave british of the 40's, he speaks to the heart of every men and every women who wants to see a new dawn to their country, who wants to see your country free of tirany, with the people united around their national heritage and heroes, mr churchill speaks to every one who wants a better and fair future. This words and speech are timeless and universal, god bless mr churchill.

He was an exceptional man leading an exceptional generation that this nation will never see again.

50 years today. We could use you back, sir.

My father, a WW2 Burma Veteran, in his last days looked out of his window and said "I gave six years of my life for this country; I lost some good friends and look what successive governments have done with what they were given.........." We need politicians like Mr Churchill, those that have served their country in the forces, done a proper job. Not these mamby-pamby soft palmed, self promoting and know all idiots we have today.

Irrespective of the varied comments below am English,British and proud to be so>I have,long ago, served the Queen & this country for 21 years-against crime and terrorism>yet still this lifts my heart and soul and makes me resolute again to fear nothing and to be so proud of this Nation!

I'm a Brazilian history teacher and I keep teaching my students about how important Churchill and the British people were during the ww2, how strong and United they were against the nazi's rules and its devil armies.

A brilliant, giant man; never will be forgot! God loved him so much!

We live on the shoulders of giants, whose sacrifice is a debt we can never repay. Be proud to be British and strive every day to never squander the freedom and opportunity you have been afforded by heroes that gave their all, for us all.

The GIANT of the 20th century. Thanks, Winston, for helping save the world from an unthinkable fate.

Shivers down my spine every time I hear these speeches with this music.

the greatest piece of music ever written , absolutely iconic of the sacrifices given in the two world wars.

What giant OF MIND and Man was this good fellow ...

My father (born 1928). chose this at his funeral in 2015. So it really moves my heart . I have always loved this piece by Elgar. My father grew up during the war and would love this post.

I am English and through study understand the context of the speech at the time it was made. I am an emotionally hardened man who spent 32 years in front line policing yet without ant shame I can say it makes me cry like a baby with pride every time I hear this fantastic elderly 65-year-old man speak. He had almost nothing to fight with and Britain was written off by the rest of the world yet with this great man at the helm he inspired the British and commonwealth to chase what was a lost cause and assistance of many other heroic nations especially the Russians together were able to triumph over evil against overwhelming odds and make much of the world free again.

Proud to say i payed my respect at the Abbey as he laid in state and my father was one of the guards of honour, where are you winnie now that we need you again.

...you will always be a source of inspiration. Thank you Mr. Churchill.

An amazing speech from a great man.

No matter what the jealous low life’s and and say, Sir Winston Churchill was the best Prime minister we have ever had.

What a speech , just think what this man faced ! Bravo , we shall never forget !

Britain. The greatest fighting nation on earth and in the history of mankind.

WHAT A Combination Edward Elgarr & Winston Spencer Churchill. Unforgettable BEAUTY.

An old myth asserts that in times of great peril King Arthur and his knights would arise from their graves and come to England's defense. They did. Churchill and the pilots, of many nationalities, of the RAF. Lionhearts.

We were once a great nation, proud, resolute, and powerful, we are but a shell of our former selves. Politics, deceit, and lies have belittled us. I was proud to be a soldier with a family history of army service dating back to the Domesday book, Our great and proud heritage is but a shadow, a distant memory, and eloquently expressed by commentator William Rance. This once great nation has been reduced to a cornerstone of history and democracy is just a by-word. I am now in my 70's and greatly saddened by the state of the country and our heritage now becoming less than a memory.

Cometh the hour, Cometh the man! This music is very fitting for Sir Winston Churchill speeches. Beautiful and moving .

Greatest Englishman of all time

Canada will always stand at your side.

Cometh-the-hour-cometh-the-man. God's country will deliver its heroes when the time is upon us.

Juste un mot d'admiration pour le grand peuple et ses grands hommes éternels !

An apt combination: the majestic strength of Elgar's music and the soul-stirring words of Sir Winston. Next month I will visit the grave of my cousin, who was killed on D-Day in Normandy (an 82nd Airborne officer). If the deaths of the millions killed in world conflicts are not to have been in vain, those of us living now must rededicate ourselves to searching for leaders like Churchill, not for petty rabble-rousers with nothing to offer but more ignorance, more money for those who need it least, and yet more wars.

A powerful reminder of a great warrior and statesman

This reminds me of Nolan's 'Dunkirk' as this music was in the movie and the 'We shall fight on the beaches' speech was read out at the end of the movie. I'm not British but I wish to be one, God save the Queen and rule Britannia! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

May God forever keep the soul of this most outstanding Brit of modern times

My father remembered hearing this speech on the radio during the war and he insisted that I watch with him Churchill’s funeral, broadcast live on television in my native Finland. I can still remember the cranes on the banks of the Thames bring lowered as the barge carrying Churchill’s coffin passed. I was four.

Sends shivers down my spine and brings tears to my eyes. God bless them all, who gave so much, who suffered so much and never faltered in their bravery and resilience. Thank our heavenly father for Sir Winston Churchill, without whom we could be telling a different, terryfying story. We are planning an event for VE Day 75 in Rainworth, and our village and the neighbouring village of Blidworth will be honouring this generation, and celebrating peace on Friday May 8th. My team and me have put so much hard work into this event, that comes gladly, from our hearts to show our gratitude. Peace in our time, a time for celebration and reflection. ❤️🙏

I am proud to have been born in the time of Winston I am proud to remember the world Atlass showing the sun never sets on our Empire I am sad to know we have half the population now who want to surrender to a foreign power

I love this Guy he says it as it is. I have every respect for him.

Most motivational and meaningful words of the English Language. Grateful to all men and women who defended our island♥️🇬🇧

truly inspirational

what would have we done without this great man?

Noone or no nation will ever break our spirit. I love my country so much and noone will ever take that away from me. Never

My grandchildren will forever grateful to this great man I will do my best to make them realise this RIP Winston

Britain, Canada & America - stood steadfast and firm against hitler and his evil, hatred and madness - so thankful for all the lives sacrificed for our great Freedom and Liberty - let us never take it for granted. Lest we Forget. Excellent clip featuring Elgar and Churchill's great speech.

A powerful speech by a powerful man....

Only by the grace and goodness of God could we enjoy freedom under leadership like Churchill's. May we never forget the price that was paid for our freedom.

Oh Sir Winston Churchill we need you now, Such a great man!

Total respect for you, Sir

Winston Churchill you were an unbelievable inspiration to our nation even more so as you suffered with "the black dogs" i,m certain the youngsters of today have no idea what you endured, did, sacrificed so we could live free from nazi tyrany, God bless you!

Britain's biggest asset in the war. A great man who should always be remembered. He held us all together.

God Save The Queen and all of us thank you Sir Winston Churchill for your leadership...and I am an American...this is how your remember those who fought before us to keep us free...God Bless America..

To determine our future we need to know our history. Never surrender. We are a free people who determine our own future, No one makes our laws but us, the British people.

22/05/17 this opening statement by W.S.Churchill brings a tear to the eye once again.

Never has so much been owed to so many by so few. Thanks Dad.

The greatest priminister ever!
