Churchill died in l965. The statesman"s funeral procession was televised and this was done via the (early Bird) or other telecommunications satellites, quite new at the time. Odd for staid old Britishers to add new funerary customs- but in the l90l funeral of Queen Victoria , all logistics commands, so to speak, regarding movements of the body, escorting details, etc were handled by then new-fangled Wireless telegraph.
