Churchill's language shows the finger of God was upon him - and that he was aware of it. Edmund reflects on Churchill's use of language, the victory that was won, as well as England’s identity as the Dowry of Mary. This programme fortifies us in our understanding of our own country and what it exists for, and so encourages us all.
