[CHURCHILL, WINSTON L.[EONARD] SPENCER, Sir] Group of items relating to Churchill's State Funeral. Comprises two printed sheets of instructions for attendance at the state funeral church service for Sir Winston Churchill London: circa 30 January 1965; and two batons, apparently carried during the funeral procession, one with a brass plaque to this effect. Small tear to the lower right corner of the sheet of General Instructions; the batons with a strip of old tape adhering . When Sir Winston Churchill died January 24, 1965, at the age of 90, the plans (apparently in gestation for over a decade) for a state funeral were implemented. There was an official lying-in-state at Westminster Hall; the funeral itself was held at St. Paul's Cathedral, and Queen Elizabeth II broke royal tradition to attend this, a funeral of a commoner. The funeral was based on the 1852 funeral of the Duke of Wellington, where similar batons were carried (these had been used in seventeenth-, eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century funerals, and were then frequently cast into the grave or vault of the deceased). Included in the lot is a later baton, carried during the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II on 7 June, 1977; and a photograph of Churchill at a naval event. C
