London.
General views of Middlesex Hospital and crowds waiting outside to see Sir Winston Churchill emerge. C/U of sign reading 'Private Patients Entrance' above the door. Lady Clementine Churchill goes into the hospital, greeted by officials. An ambulance pulls up outside the entrance.
Churchill, looking rather frail, is carried down the entrance steps in a chair by four ambulance men. He waves to the crowds, cigar in hand. Police hold the crowds back. Photographers crowd around the ambulance and take pictures. The ambulance sets off.
At Churchill's home, 28 Hyde Park Gate, we see more crowds and policemen gathered. Lord Moran and another man go inside. The ambulance arrives and Churchill is carried out of the ambulance in his chair. They stop on the steps of the building and pose for cameras.

If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.

Coming out of the hospital sitting on a chair with a cigar on his lips. He gave cool a whole new meaning!
Hell Bro damn I mean he lived a good life, had kids, and lived till 90 OVEREXPECTED AGE for a smoker and a drunk
@Hell Bro He didn't fear death. Death feared him.
Totally cool.
@@McRaeGBR you are free to like him but if he isnt alcoholic than no one is
Yeah, because being a fat, alcoholic, smoking, racist war criminal is so cool...
He lived till he was 90 while smoking cigars and drinking alcohol!!! Some really have all the luck!!!!
That's an electronic cigar. FYI!
And survived 2 world wars
Good genes.
And he was hella rich, that always helps
Devil wear Pampers
This is actually really impressive video quality for 1955. I’m impressed!
yes! It was probably shot on 35mm film which if scanned correctly into digital will look great! Some film producers such as quintin tarantino still use the format in their movies actually which is pretty cool
Leo because it is film and in the 80 and 90 they used digital cameras which only shot 480i or 480p idk so it will always look bad film can look pretty great
And I am disgusted how people are glorifying this drunkard and war criminal.
@@FolkFirst
No one will ever take you seriously 🤷🏽♂️
@@JamesK7911 The cognitive dissodent won't thats true kiddo
This video is like it was recorded just yesterday cause the quality is so good
Because it's uploaded by the original creators who probably had access to the original film and were able to digitally restore it.
just cause its colour, u think it has good quality but it isn't really that good
It is British Empire
Where have the English gone
@@jonmould2946 to berlin
Smoking in the back of the ambulance oh the good old days 🚬
Buddy Olly Was it lit?
Yes
Well, you can't tell the Prime Minister not to smoke...especially when it's Winston Churchill
Nancy Hobson You were actually allowed to smoke in hospitals and ambulances back then.
@@taylorwatson7932 Yeah, the good old days
After leaving office, most politicians can barely walk on the street without being booed. Churchill got nothing but gratitude. He was a giant in an era of giants.
I wish I could walk through London in 50s. That era was literally classic.;)
Yes it was a different day & age back then. No need to worry about people carrying knives or coming up to you to ask for any loose change knowing full well if you give them some money it will just be blown on drink or drugs! People could be trusted more back then.
There was general respect for each other & authority (police) & there was capital punishment & National Service in Britain in the 1950's. I wish that was still the case in Britain today! The Lord have mercy on us ere it is too late!
@@matthewvwuk has britain changed a lot in terms of living standards too? I mean were people back then had more sense of what we know as classic English wear and it's no longer the case even in countryside?
@@utkarshpandey6879 Yes Britain has changed a lot in terms of living standards. Televisions were making their way more into people's homes & considering the Queen's Coronation 2 years earlier would have been televised. Fridges, washing machines etc were coming out then & radiograms kept people entertained in their homes. VHF (FM) began to be broadcast alongside LW & MW radio. Rationing finally ended in July 1954.
Back in the 1950's the vast majority of people wore hats wherever they went out & they covered up even in the summer when around in public & on the beach except if they were getting into the sea to swim. No half nude men walking around back then, there was decency & manners shown unlike today!
Well just hope you were born before ww2...
London 1940s is best HHAA
British victory is just radiating off of him.
Empire, gone.
Assets and wealth, gone.
Sovereignty of the nation, gone.
A generation of young men, gone.
The future of the British ppl, gone.
Sure feels like a British victory
Could you see the British public celebrating Boris or Lizz or anyone in the past 15 years for coming out of hospital. Just goes to show how much respect this man has and how down this country has fallen
Unfortunately.
They would probably celebrate them going into the Hospital
This man was a war criminal
Those people were not aware as they didn't have the tools to do the proper research
@@umukaabhassan7954 then what would you say about Hitler, Winston Churchill is the lesser evil of both. In my opinion, he was the greatest man that the Great Britain ever had.
He killed 300 Indians bro...
Just wondering why all narrator's voice from this era are sooo much the same.
It was probably the same person. BBC in a budget.
You couldn't have regional accents on the BBC at the time. That's why everyone speaks with this accent (received pronunciation) - it was the only one allowed.
@@for111 It wasn't about being 'allowed' it was a clipped voice universally adopted for the purposes of clarity during communication
@@oldskoolfool141 Yes, therefore disallowing all others. I explained the 'what', you explained the 'why'.

And he is “Cigar man”😂

“The most distinguished patient they’d ever had...”. Wow!
A man of stature who is nearest in action to Hitler, distinguished patient indeed.
Sadik Hussain
Respect.
Sadik Hussain what does that mean? Are you likening Churchill to Hitler?
A Genocidal dictator who killed millions.
@@dougm659 yes he is, and if you know what else he did abroad(of course you Brits wouldn't know) then he wouldn't be commemorated now. Churchill and Hitler were no different
thank you sir churchill
The coolest guy in Britain's history.
British bulldog
No...
He was the coolest guy in the history of Humankind
Father of hitlar
This mother fuckar(buchar of bengal) killed one third population of bengal (modern day bangladesh and west bengal state of INDIA) brutally .
That'd be Mr. Bean
and Probably the most criminal guy too
He even lived ten more years after this
No
This is mislabeled, it's 1962, he died in 1965
True warrior
@@jackrichardson5213 Windrush happened right after the war so no he wasn't a true warrior, he destroyed Britain.
pat ryan how did he destroy Britain?
What a hero
Leaving a hospital and entering an ambulance while smoking. The ultimate "like a boss" 😀
RIP
Nice! Hight quality! I like that!
its even filmed in colour, which brings it to life on a whole new scale
The joyful commentary and classical music is what I miss in modern day news, and I wasn't even alive back then.
Brave man! Hero! Great leader!
Even in his older years, confined to a chair, that man exuded nobility. Maybe not nobility of birth, but most certainly that of character.
Amazing footage.
Now that, is epic. Leaving the hospital, sitting on a chair, while having a cigar in his mouth.
Signature Winston Churchill
Wonder if he paid for the cigar with the bribery money he got for WW2 🤔
00:19 that head nod explains that era.
At Middlesex Hospital, Lady Churchill is accompanied by Sir Anthony Montague Browne, Churchill's Private Secretary - and the biological father of the present Archbishop of Canterbury.
@@fareediqbal2907 ?
🤣🤣 Imagine this out of context
And three years later three school students in liverpool decided to make music....
Crazy to think the Queen had been 'Queening' for 3 years when this film was shot.
Unbelievable!
RIP YOUR MAJESTY LONG LIVE THE KING 🤴🏻
I know rite? God save the king👑
That comment you put down it's funny...😃🤣🤣
She queened like a champ.
I love his very witty quotes often said at the spur of the moment
Legend
It shows that even ten years after the war, he was still admired and appreciated!
Fantastic video
It's so weird but so beautiful to see this kind of quality of a 70 years old video! And in colour!!!! Like they really existed
Wow imagine that reaction coming out of hospital
I have NEVER heard a leader cheered that loud, anywhere. My jaw dropped when I first saw this clip, and heard the crowd reaction. Churchill does look pretty emotional, can't blame him. Remember this was over a decade after World War II. Hard to believe he outlived nearly every other major World War II leader other than Eisenhower (who passed away in 1969).
Pig with cigar
Long live Sir Winston 🙏
Not a single person commands this much love and respect now. The golden year's are gone.
Straight after darkest hour
10 years after
Of starving 4 million Bengali
@@eavyeavy2864 He didnt cause the famine.
He didnt help.
@JAITRA SAI if wasnt him u would all be germans, and btw , he was born in 1874, he grew up in a racist population, it was normal back then , so when u say that u need to ajust to the time he lived, He was a very good man
@@naze2659 "....u would be all Germans...."
Sorry to say, Hitler didn't want others to be Germans except Scandinavians, some of the English and French, and few others....
He wanted to persecute and exterminate those who he didn't considered eligible to become an "Aryan".
One cannot underestimate the respect held for Churchill by the British Public, even if politically opposite. He was a man with flaws but he was the right leader for the wartime period and, without that leadership, the second half of the 20th century might have been quite different. The people waiting to see and cheering seem to have almost overwhelmed the old boy.
My grandpa I love you so much
We need a Winston Churchill more than ever NOW! That bright mind.

Love it. He always has is beloved cigar.
LEGENDARY MAN IN THE WORLD !!!
He is solely responsible for killing millions of Indian during bengal famine
@@DinglirenXi The famine was literally caused by a natural disaster made worse by Japanese occupation. Churchill literally sent ships filled with food to India to mitigate the deaths only for those ships to be destroyed by the Japanese. You can literally find the letters sent to Roosevelt by Churchill showing his concern for lives of the Indians.

Wauw! Amazing! Made my day
This is better quality than high text 2022 CCTV footage!
Come across this again! - can confirm this was Summer 1962 - not 1955 - he fell in Monte Carlo breaking his hip and was flown home to Middlesex Hospital
I believe you are right. Clues: at 1:14 and 1:31, the women had hair styles common in the early 1960's, not 1955. And at 1:36, you can see a woman's hemline of a length common in the early 1960's but definitely not from 1955.
That is one great man in my book
Thank you sir.

That’s nice but he killed many people in india and other countries.
Wow!Churchill is with cigar in his mouth even in hospital!
Everyone smoked in hospitals these days in England
@@jackrichardson5213 everyone does it in Brazil today
Even firemen smoked while fighting a fire (joke)
He looks so happy
Wow the quality 😱
My man came out with a cigar! What a legend.
What this man did was truly remarkable, fought for his country, makes me proud to be British
He killed lakhs of indias
Lol shame
He was responsible for many deaths in India, that makes you proud to be British?
Because of this guy Indian west bengal state people died for hunger approximately more than 250000 people search than say this is remarkable
he sent thousands of ANZACS to an assault on a bay that was covered by two Turkish forts. One of the biggest military cockups in the modern age. Gallipoli. He masterminded it. Pretty remarkable if you ask me, sending them all to slaughter. He also put my Kenyan mates relatives into camps. This kind of Hero worship is the EXACT hero worship that allowed hitler to put people into camps (who got the idea from the American civil war and British occupation of Kenya.) but history likes to forget that. Still he did see us through some difficult times, and i honestly think if it was not for the Americans the UK would of fallen to the Reich. Dunkirk was a failure, operation market garden was a failure. Gallipoli was a failure. He was at the helm for ALL these British lead failures. How...weird...that there is a pattern emerging. EDIT: Also we were saved by the fact Hitler attacked Russia too.
He was still puffing on a cigar while he came out of the hospital. That guy lived till he was 90. What a legend lol
Probably the only person in the world that was allowed with a cigar into the ambulance 😀
“After the hospital staff gave him all the attention humanly possible” 😂

@@zarifkhan4u He saved Europe, and consequently the world, from the Nazis and he was not directly responsible for the unfortunate famines in India and Ireland. He made mistakes, yes, but all great men do. We should remember him for the good he has done, not just the bad.
@@ronin3381 I am sorry I cannot agree with you on this.....pls watch Dr Shashi Tharoor on how really was this guy...
He was informed by the adminstration that the people in India are suffering and people are dying...
He quoted:
"Why is Gandhi still alive??"
And on India he said...
"They are beastly people with beastly religion"
You will get many references with the same things he said about BLACKS in Africa...
@@zarifkhan4u He may indeed have been racist, but so was almost everyone else at that time. Even your own Mahatma Gandhi was racist against black people, but he is still remembered as a great man because his good deeds outweigh his bad deeds. The same is true for Winston Churchill. He may have been flawed, but he was a great man nonetheless and deserves to be remembered as one.
@@ronin3381No not everyone was racist..U R AGAIN WRONG...
Gandhi was brown Y u think or more correctly to whom u think he would be a racist too????
can u show me a quote or give me a reference wherein The GREAT MAHATMA GANDHI was a racist...
Over to you...
Smiles I love this
Wow, to think I was 2 years old when this was filmed. So different back then.
Insane how he aged that much in 9 years
It was probably the fact he was in hospital with his health deteriorating that made him look older
Cigars and alcohol. Thank GOD his precious wife didn't succumb to his second hand smoke. GOD gave him ample time to shed his habits. Daddy got rid of pall mall unfiltered AND alcohol. THAT was a MIRACLE! He went Home to JESUS SAVED and sanctified! HALLELUJAH! 🎺💃🙏🏼🙌🏼❤️

@@abduljaleelkhan1449 why do you say that?
@@soljanshametaj2891 because he was a racist colonialist. He was responsible for the Bengal famine of 1943 which killed 2.1 - 3 million people. he withheld important foodgrains from the dying Indian people to be used as surplus military storage and it was not some complex government machinery that made these decisions it was Churchill himself. People died on pavements due to starvation and when some conscience stricken British officers told him about the gravity of the famine he peevishly asked "why hasn't Gandhi died yet".
For the Indian people Churchill is not much different from Hitler

The whole world was going through the same thing even the British between each other believe it or not.
And also just so you know if it wasn’t for Churchill to stand up to the nazis during the WW2 all of the non white people around the world would have gone through the gas rooms✌️

If y'all wish to stay hidden in your little island behind those edited history books, good for you ignorant morons. But whenever you'll try to explore beyond it, you will listen the hateful chants of others again and again. Looks like even the whole of Europe now knows about your real nature after the Euro 2020

The old lion must be burning in the hell fire.
He was a WW1 veteran, lived through the worst economic crisis to ever happened, commanded the UK through the deadliest worst war in history, Smoked drank a ton of alcohol, and lived the ripe old age of 90!
He suffered 8 strokes.
Smoking and alcohol cause health problems on him after WW2.
Sure smoking and alcohol didn't shortened his lifespan, but it took a toll on his quality of life.
@@Charles8777-od4kj that’s not my point though, drinking and smoking are terrible for you, but he was able to keep going.
