Did You Know?

This tribute to Winston Churchill aired on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ1 at 8.30am and began the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's coverage on the morning of his state funeral. Due to the short time between Churchill's death and the broadcast, the Radio Times produced a special commemorative issue that omitted listings for the Saturday. Instead, a map of the funeral procession's route was published.
