From longtime admirers and antagonists tributes flowed in for the man who put a unique and inexpungeable stamp on British history. "I am deeply grieved at the loss of my oldest and closest friend," said Winston Churchill.

But there was never any disputing the deep impact which he had upon his times." Wrote the Times: "He was that increasingly rare phenomenon in a standardized age, a personality quite uncramped by convention or inhibition...
