Our front page from Monday, January 25, reported that a week of national mourning would follow the death of “the greatest Englishman of this century - and probably any other”.

We have reproduced five pages from that day’s edition and two from the following day’s. There are also three pages from the edition of February 1, which covered Churchill’s state funeral in London.

• We would like to hear about your memories of Winston Churchill and the events of 1965.
