© Licensed to London News Pictures. 30/01/2015. The boat that carried Churchill's body on the day of his funeral fifty years ago has today retraced its movements on the Thames. In a poignant service with Churchill family members on board, the Havengore left HMS President at Wapping with a flotilla of vessels behind, passing under a raised Tower Bridge, passed HMS Belfast and proceeded to the Houses of Parliament where a wreath was cast in to the river in remembrance of Sr Winston. The cranes that so memorably dipped fifty years ago are no longer present along the river but HMS Belfast fired a 4 gun salute as the former PLA hydrographic survey vessel made its way up river.
