Rejected petition Mark January 24th as Churchill Day
Sir Winston Churchill was Britain's Greatest Prime Minister. He was born on the 30th November 1874 and died aged 90 on January 24th 1965. Churchill was a truly excellent servant for our country. He was Prime Minister twice and was the right man to lead us during the dark days of World War 2.
More details
Without Churchill at the helm during the Second World War, our country might have looked very different. It was due to his leadership that Hitler was defeated. We believe that this remarkable man deserves recognition in our Calendar year. Mark January 24th as Churchill Day.
