He was an MP until he stood down at the 1964 General Election. Following his death in 1965, he was given a state funeral. He remains a much-admired figure to this day, and in 2002 was voted the greatest Briton of all time by the public. During the War, he made many famous speeches including lines which you may still hear:
'I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat'
Churchill's first speech to the House of Commons after he became Prime Minister, 1940
'We shall fight on the beaches,
We shall fight on the landing grounds,
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
We shall fight in the hill;
We shall never surrender'
Speech to the House of Commons after Dunkirk (see above), 1940
'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few'
Speech to the House of Commons during the Battles of Britain (see above), 1940
