I was very pleased to have recently received copies of material from the 
funeral of Winston Churchill, as well as commemorative material from about 
that time.  They are: the Ceremonial to be Observed, and the Order of 
Service at/for the Funeral of The Right Honourable Sir Winston Leonard 
Spencer Churchill; as well as the 63 page, mainly photo, book, "Winston 
Churchill: Man of Destiny" by Stafford Northcote.

My wife's good friend had worked for the late R. Gordon Robertson in Ottawa 
until his death last year at age 95.  Mr. Robertson had been the Clerk of 
the Privy Council (the country's top civil servant) at the time of WSC's 
death, and would (I presume) have attended the funeral as a representative 
of the Government of Canada.  Mr. Robertson's daughter gifted the material 
to my wife's friend, who kindly passed them on to me.

Lovely to have these pieces of history on hand, passed down and along from 
someone who I believe was there in person.
