It was in his first weeks as Prime Minister that Winston Churchill uttered what remain his most famous words.Following the miraculous evacuation of British forces from Dunkirk in May and June 1940, Churchill declared that 'we shall fight them on the beaches' amid fears that Nazi was set to launch an invasion. Now, following extensive conservation and hours of repair, a painting owned by Churchill that depicts the famous rescue of troops from Dunkirk has gone on public display for the first time at his former home, Chartwell in Kent.
