Mr. Churchill and Mr Attlee are Great Friends - Inside the Houses of Parliament Britain's wartime leader, Mr. Winston Churchill, and Britain's present Prime Minister, Mr. Clement Attlee, are often at press-purposes over the policy of running Britain -- but outside, well they are just friends. Here they are seen in conversation as they left St. Paul's Cathedral today after the Independence Day Ceremony when the American Dead of World War II were honoured. A roll of honour, bearing the names of 28,000 Americans who were killed while they were based in Britain, was dedicated. July 03, 1951. (Photo by Paul Popper)
