Close, But No Cigar



The face is instantly familiar, the two-fingered salute unmistakable. In the original photograph the war leader has his cigar gripped firmly in the corner of his mouth. But in the other image - currently greeting visitors to a London museum - his favourite smoke has been digitally extinguished.

It seems Churchill may have fallen victim to the modern curse of political correctness. The question of who removed the cigar and when was something of a mystery.

The Winston Churchill's Britain At War Experience confessed to being astonished to discover that the image may have been doctored. LINK: The Presurfer
