50th Anniversary Of Sir Winston Churchill State Funeral Marked
Services have been held to mark the 50th anniversary of the state funeral of Sir Winston Churchill.
David Cameron laid a wreath at the statue of the former Prime Minister following a service held at Parliament.
MPs also lead a procession to St Mary's Undercroft Chapel, which ended under what has become known as Churchill Arch. The structure was rebuilt at his suggestion, from fragments of stone that remained following a German bomb blast.
The Havengore, the boat which carried the wartime PM's coffin along the Thames, is making the same journey.
