perhaps, but certainly not in the present day format! Churchill would have insisted that Britain had a powerful and very much listened to voice. Not a colony outpost of Brussels. [Johnsons words, not my favourite politician but absolutely right in this case].
And Emperor Hirohito outlived EVERY SINGLE, World War 2 leader. Hirohito died in 1989. He outlived Churchill, Roosevelt, Truman, Hitler, Zedong, Stalin, Mussolini.
When politicians and leaders had respect even if they did not agree.They both believed in the freedoms of what the ordinary peoples should deserve as a people.
The Americans and the British have always had an immense respect for eachother even if they don’t agree all the time we’ve fought side by side in many wars and have aided eachother in many others 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸
humberto celli ...why do you say that Kennedy was a great leader ?....he only was president for 2 years and so although he had potential he didn't lead long enough ....unlike Roosevelt or Truman etc etc
Whether you like Churchill or not, keep in mind that he stood against Hitler for 2 years, virtually alone!!! In his own words, "With resources so slender, one shudders to enumerate them even now"!!
Lewis Taylor, Invading Poland was the line in the sand, together with the expansionist policy of the Nazis, appeasement did work, so what was left?, what was the alternative?
Plato Rising It was the Kaiser that sent Lenin home to Russia to rabble-rouse the masses, in a desperate bid to turn the tide of WW1. The German Kaiser - NOT Churchill. Read a history book dum-dum.
You're an ignorant fool, because if you knew anything about Churchill you would know he was a staunch anti-Bolshevik/anti-Marxist. Among European (and American) political leaders at the time, he was one of, - if not THE - biggest proponent of military intervention in the Russian Civil War to support the White Army and crush the communist scum. He despised Lenin, and Stalin after him - the quote about how relucant he was to help the Soviets to the House of Commons is one of his most humorous and famous. You should look it up, perhaps you will accidentally learn some more information about this wonderful, timely Great Man of history
It was lucky he was English and British, with an American mother. This honour is deserved and symbolic of the alliance between U.S. and G.B. Winston Churchill was a true Briton so doubtfully he would have wanted an American citizenship. Had he been a legal citizen of the US the outcome of the world re World War II would be entirely different and potentially for US. History shows us his stoicism, courage and tenacity prevailed to deliver victory to the Allies.
The speaker is Winston Churchill's son, Lord Randolph. He is reading a message of acceptance, written by Winston Churchill. Sir Winston Churchill had just two more years to live. Don't know whether he was already too sick to travel by 1963. He died with some type of throat cancer in 1965.
Made a mistake with my reply. This Randolph Churchill was not a Lord. His grandfather (Winston Churchill's father) was Lord Randolph Churchill. I had not completed proper research, at the time of posting this reply. Grandfather and grandson are quite interesting to read about. Lord Randolph was a competant member of Parliament, until something happened to his brain. He deteriorated and died while still young. His grandson (the Randolph Churchill of this news report/video) was just plain bonkers. His biographies are discouraging. To say that he had anger management issues would be a mild description of his behavior. For this ceremony with John F. Kennedy, he had his behavior under control. Mostly he did not. He was not a Lord and never succeeded with his campaigns for places in Parliament. Apparently he could not keep anyone on his side, for a successful campaign.
His father ignored him and disgraced the family politically. His mother was..shall we say a tad loose with little sense of morals. How he didnt end up fucked up is a credit to him
Both the UK and the USA could do with leadership like those two now more than ever. The UK needs a firm, dignified, serious statesman. Rather than a clown show of buffoonery. The USA could do with a young man (or woman if you wanted) full of new ideas and youthful vigour rather than some decrepit old men who should have been in their retirement homes long ago. Let the new generation shape the country. Both apply to whichever way you might lean politically. I was watching Thatcher on RUclips the other day, despised and hated by so many. They have their reasons, sometimes good. But even so the respect she commanded and the strong core values she held are something I feel is so sorely lacking in these nations today. Quite sad really not seeing anyone of that type in charge.
I'm very glad that you have this online. It is heartening to be able to "capture" historic moments as this so easily. Where President Kennedy declared Winston Churchill an honorary american citizen,, Obama dramatically reverses Kennedy, by sending back to England the bust of Churchill England gave us. I revere President Kennedy. A major reason I voted for Obama is that I thought he would restore the Kennedy tradition. But what are we to make of Obama's repudiation of President Kennedy?
With all his faults, Churchill led his nation in the darkest hour in her history. England was fighting the Nazis alone for more than two years!!! He was holy grail in our house!!!!!
@@holldolldee7582 O yes she was! Her parents were even both born in America. Even Winston Churchill in his first address to the American Congress, clearly refers to his mother as being American. Now if that's not being American , I don't know what is!
Churchill almost felt the word "Blitzkrieg" in his own body! Had not the Americans laid their protective hand over England, and had England promised the Jew Palestine ... but neither England nor the Americans were ready for peace! Despite generous peace offers.
My dad fought in the British (Indian) army 1939 to 1945 and in the jungles of Burma. He and the rest of the British Militarily returned to Britain with the desire to have Universal Health Care and government housing for those bombed out or living in slums. They OVERTHREW Churchill in a landslide election and got both their desires. My dad and the rest of the British population, admired Churchill as a war leader, but wanted nothing of his conservatism in peacetime.. My dad settled into his democratic socialist country which continues for now, and his fellow citizens got the glasses and false teeth they needed, not the new war with Russia that Churchill wanted....
@@diggr13 Yes but the drunken git did not dare undo the NHS which was passed in 1948.... and his opposition to which was one of the reasons he was sacked...

If there is anybody that I would look up to it would be sir Winston Churchill and I am an American
This is a wonderful honor for a man who had well earned it. However, I submit that Churchill was already an American citizen, through his mother.
He used to say - "Im 100% British and 50% American"
Black men were forced and brought here..and treated less than human at that time

two of the greatest leaders of all time. God Bless Them.

nobby roberts Well just because he wasn't president long doesn't mean he isn't great
That was Sir Winston's son... Not the man himself
Ok nobby, then Kennedy was potentially a great leader. Pedantic or what....
2 greats politicians, I would like to be like them :(
What dead?
@@harrymonk6 Don't be a twad.
@@harrymonk6 The only great politicians are dead.
NO. ONE, NOT TWO, GREAT LEADER< and one POLITICIAN who became a martyr because he was SHOT DEAD.
JFK and Churchill two of the best politicians in world's history.
Whether you like Churchill or not, keep in mind that he stood against Hitler for 2 years, virtually alone!!! In his own words, "With resources so slender, one shudders to enumerate them even now"!!
The entire British Commonwealth and Empire was at war with Germany and Italy.
Virtualy but not totally alone. We Greeks fought alongside the UK and even defeated Italy in the winter of 1940-41.
Long live Churchill without him where would we be
JFK : We all came here to honor you.
Churchill : I send my representatives here to speak about the past, present and future glory of Britannia.
In his day Churchill had many detractors. Over the years they have fallen silent and today nobody has a bad word to say about him. Long may it be so.

Legends
When men was true
he was still living in 63
Boris Johnson was born in New York City so like Churchill he also has American connections.
Churchills mother was American
Great speech.
Nothing better than outliving all your enemies and detractors. Here, here !
As Bob Hope put it, "A bald Eagle drinking a cup of tea".......
Hear, Hear !
He also framing them up
He was actually half american
Great, but why they read a paper ? many people do not need to have talk
Wasn't he already an American citizen? He was born in New York and his mother was an American from New York.....
He was born in England at Blenheim Palace very close to where he is buried.
I'm curious what goes with the title or is it pure fluff? ....Example; can an honorary citizen vote in a US presidential election????
Yes, it means full rights. By executive order of the President.
Explain your stance.
Odd. I am related to both President John F Kennedy and Sir Winston Churchill.
How?
All data i keep in my files
How do you make someone an honorary American with an American mother 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honorary American "citizen". Citizen being the key word.
Dunno.whos that
Imelda or imee?i dunno them
Kennedy Sr may have been an appeaser but Kennedy Jr wasn't. He served honourably in WW2.
Churchill actually was half-American through his mother.
Kennedy was assassinated because he surrendered to the Soviets in 1962.
Winston Churchill was half American By the way
Back in the day when Americans expected their Presidents to be coherent and eloquent and not orange buffoons!
Would any American President accept honorary citizenship from another country and without criticism from Americans?
Anyone else noticed President J. F . K desperately trying not to smile ?
That's randolph yall fool
I thought if one of your parents was a American that made you a American ?
