Description

WINSTON CHURCHILL - PART 2 - When the Conservatives were voted out of office in 1945, Winston Churchill was 71-years-old, an age most politicians would be thinking about retirement. But Churchill remained leader of the party in opposition. MOTHER THERESA - In 1985, Mother Teresa received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from U.S. President Ronald Reagan, and in 1979 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. MANOLO BLAHNIK - There is a myth that every woman in the world has a serious shoe fetish; it's nonsense of course, but chances are that in the western world even women who could quite happily live in flip flops or work boots know all about Manolo Blahnik. VERA LYNN - She was "the forces' sweetheart" and one of the most popular and beloved entertainers of World War II. SIR EDMUND HILLARY - Sometimes referred to as "the third pole," Mt. Everest's summit stands over 29, 000 feet above sea level. On the 29th of May, 1953, Edmund Hillary, and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, created history by being the first people to reach it.
