Winston Churchill is seen in photos which have just been put up for sale doting on his grandchildren with seemingly not a care in the world.
The candid snaps show Churchill who led Britain from the brink of defeat to victory during the Second World War, playing with his grandchildren at his family home.
The snaps were taken in 1951, a year after Churchill was installed as Prime Minister for the second time after losing the General Election in 1945 - the year the six-year war ended.
Churchill was known for coining the phrase 'darkest hour' - which described the time between June 1940 and 1941 when Britain was fighting against the threat of German invasion.
But the photos give a snapshot of some of Churchill's happier times when he was with his family.
Photos show Churchill with his grandchildren and wife at his family home in Kent
The former Prime Minister is seen looking relaxed and happy as he sits in a swinging chair in the garden of the home in Chartwell in Kent, with his wife Clementine and five of their grandchildren.
Photos also show him sat inside his library and walking around the grounds of his home.
The album which contains 39 photographs and one of his trademark cigars, which is part-smoked, are being put up for sale by Dominic Winter auctions, of Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

The intimate snaps were captured by his friend Harold David John Cole, the former president of the Royal Photographic Society.

The album has been consigned for sale by a private collector and is expected to go under the hammer for £2,000.
Anderson so impressed Churchill during the assignment that he offered him a job at Downing Street after his service with the Royal Navy ended in 1945.

Chris Albury, specialist at Dominic Winter, said: 'There is still a huge amount of interest in Churchill from collectors and his cigar was one of his trademarks'
The partly-smoked cigar was taken by a naval officer as a memento of the British wartime leader's stay on board HMS Pembroke in 1943.
It remained in Chief Steward Petty Officer Leslie Anderson's family for several generations before passing into the hands of a private collector.
Anderson was sent out to Churchill's villa at Casablanca, Morocco, to organise the household for a 10 day Allied Leaders Conference which was also attended by US President Franklin D Roosevelt.

The 5ins cigar, which is being sold in the same auction, is valued at £1,000.
Chris Albury, specialist at Dominic Winter, said: 'There is still a huge amount of interest in Churchill from collectors and his cigar was one of his trademarks.
'He would put it in his mouth even when he was not smoking it as it was part of his image.
'The photos of Chartwell, as far as we are aware, were not featured in the press at the time.'
The sale takes place on January 30.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
