The first museum dedicated to the life and times of Sir Winston Churchill has been opened by the Queen.
The £6m museum has been built in the underground Cabinet War Rooms, where the prime minister directed British forces during World War II.
Paying tribute to Churchill, the Queen said he had given the country "the hope, the courage and the confidence" to survive the war.
The museum opens to the public on Friday and is set to be popular.
Giving a short speech, the Queen said: "I am very pleased to be able to visit today the Cabinet War Rooms, the scene of Sir Winston Churchill's 'finest hour'.
"During those wartime years Churchill's determination and example gave us all the hope, the courage and the confidence to 'tread safely into the unknown'.
