'Winston Churchill died this morning just after 8.It is sad and now another great name will be written in history. Tonight we saw a film on Churchill's life I was nearly crying and after it was over I was depressed. I hope Lady Churchill will realise that everyone will miss him. He is to have a state funeral on Saturday, he is 90 which is a really grand age. I'm sure he will be ranked with great tacticians as Marlborough. I have prayed for him'.
