Brits on a luxury mini coach tour to Oxford may be interested in visiting a long-term exhibition during their stay.

The Winston Churchill Oxfordshire Hussar 1901 - 1965 display has been entertaining visitors to the Oxfordshire Museum since September 2009.

It has now entered its last month of operation and will accept its final member of the public on September 1st.

The exhibition looks at the life of the former prime minister before he won the top job.

Featuring new material, it examines his time as "an enthusiastic amateur", Visit Oxford revealed.

Visitors will also learn more about Churchill's relationship with the county and the Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars.

It covers his service in the Territorial Army and work during the two world wars, with information on the state funeral he received following his death in the 1960s.

Meanwhile, Oxford is celebrating the 900th anniversary of the inception of a royal park at Woodstock with a programme of special events, which runs throughout the year.
