Edmund Murray was Winston Churchill's bodyguard for 15 years. In this short item, he tells Jeremy Carrad how a 'protection officer' is trained to see the world and relates anecdotes about occasions when Churchill's life was under threat.
Like Churchill, Edmund Murray also enjoyed painting and often accompanied the politician on artistic outings. After Murray had his work rejected by the Royal Academy, Churchill told him: "You know, your paintings are so much better than mine, but yours are judged on their merit."
