  Grandson of wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill and son of the 'wayward' Randolf, Winston Churchill has died of cancer aged 69 after a two year battle.
  
  As a Tory MP for 27 years he never reached the heights of his grandfather but was a good and decent MP of the old school who I had the pleasure of meeting in the early 80's.
  
  We will not meet many of his like again....
  
  RIP

  Sad news that Barry, and a name that`ll live on forever. Coincidence there that you have him on here, and I`m out taking a picture of his grandfather this morning with Vic, and to make it a third, I`ve just posted about Churchill`s and the Dover kiosk. They say everything in 3`s.
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

  BarryW I see he died after a two year battle, very sad. A pleasant man..he came along, and he probably had cancer at the time if my calculations are correct, to the launch ceremony for that new seafront statue dedicated to the merchant mariners. That was less than two years ago I think. He made the 'opening' speech. I might be able to find a picture of that in the archives later.
