Writer Chris Gainor stands in as the late British Prime Minister Winston Churchill at an annual ceremony to remember the politician Sunday afternoon. A group, heavily dressed against a cold wind, gathered around a hawthorn tree planted by Churchill in Beacon Hill Park on a visit to Victoria in 1929, listened to few speeches, received Churchill related books and memorabilia in a draw and then toasted the memory of the cigar smoking man.
