Winston Churchill enjoyed after 1945 a remarkable reputation as a great man with a unique, historic status, but this did not follow on from the Second World War in a smooth and uncomplicated way. His increasing age and his iconic status as the war leader of 1940 were used by Churchill himself and by his many admirers in order to keep him in the public eye, but other aspects of the man such as his wit, his writings, his painting and his birthday celebrations were also used to promote the idea of a man whose sheer range of talents set him entirely apart from the ordinary. Churchill's funeral in 1965 completed the process, with writers and world leaders seeking both to celebrate Churchill's standing and to hijack his name for their own political causes, a process that has continued ever since. |
