The Man Himself  by bkbinthecity

The Man Himself

Located in the Square is this statue of Sir Winston Churchill. When the Square was built the city chose to name it after the British Prime Minister. When it was built the daughter of Churchill came here to unveil the statue
What an imposing figure and statue !

What a great human he was. Very deserving of having a statue made.

I'm glad that his daughter came to "unveil" it. I wondered if he had ever been to Edmonton or Canada even.

We shall fight on the beaches,
We shall fight on the landing grounds,
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
We shall fight in the hills;
We shall never surrender!

@stephomy great speech
December 20th, 2020  
@bkbinthecity The funny thing is that the reason I know that speech so well is because Iron Maiden plays a recording of it before their song Aces High.
