The new window will be unveiled this week in St. Andrew’s Church, Cransley, Northamptonshire. A cigar may touch off the fireworks. The window shows the signing of the Atlantic Charter (1941). Below the guns of the battleship Prince of Wales sit President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, who is, as usual, smoking a cigar.
