Ahead of the 50th anniversary of Sir Winston Churchill's funeral, Hilperton man Kenneth Warr has recalled the major role he played in covering the occasion, working for news agency United Press International. The former Prime Minis-ter, widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century, died on January 24, 1965, and his funeral was the largest state funeral in world history at the time when it took place on January 30. Mr Warr, who lives in Trowbridge Road, was working for United Press International in London at the time, after starting in 1955 as a script writer and working his way up to the position of European managing editor.
