It's 70 years to the day that Winston Churchill gave one of his most famous speeches to the House of Commons.
His 'So Few' speech was given as an overview of why Britain was fighting, how the conflict was progressing and where he saw the conflict moving on to. A classic example of a well structured speech using the past, present, future method of organisation.
It brings a smile to my face that a speech that was over 5000 words long is remembered 70 years later for one single line.
