The statue of Dame Millicent Fawcett by artist Gillian Wearing is the only statue of a woman in Parliament Square, where others honoured include international statesmen like Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi, and former prime ministers Sir Winston Churchill and David Lloyd-George.

As well as becoming far better travelled, this year has also saw him expand his horizons in other ways, acting as an ambassador for Young Minds UK, a mental health charity for young people, and Winston's Wish, a children and young people's grief charity.

Born Winston Conrad Martindale on Dec. 4, 1933, in Jackson, Tenn., he was one of five children.

The American said it was a posture and pose, "a simplistic desire" to sound like Winston Churchill.
