    Last and greatest of the classical geniuses, he is a hero for me, without the likes of him we would not have our modern world!

    I read his biography 20 odd years ago he was one of the giants of this world!

    I agree with you about Churchill though!

    I remember watching his funeral on the tele as a child, huge event in this country.

    My friend recently found some stunning photographs of Churchill in his attic I have been meaning to copy them for posterity!
