Welcoming the new events, grandson of Sir Winston Churchill, Rt Hon Sir Nicholas Soames MP commented:

” I’m delighted that Parliament is to celebrate the life of Sir Winston Churchill and his 64 years as a Member of Parliament. These events coincide with the release of the remarkable new film on Sir Winston, Darkest Hour. It is my hope that visitors will enjoy the chance to learn more of Sir Winston’s extraordinary Parliamentary career and his legacy, and further, will go away with a clearer understanding of this truly momentous period in the history of our country.”
