FOUND HIM VERY, VERY ENGAGING
COMPANY AND NOT A STUFFED SHIRT.
>> DAISY, LET ME PAUSE YOU RIGHT
THERE BECAUSE BORIS JOHNSON IS
ADDRESSING THE BRITISH PUBLIC.
LET’S LISTEN.
>> HE INSPIRED THE LIVES OF
COUNTLESS YOUNG PEOPLE AND
LITERALLY TENS OF THOUSANDS AT
EVENTS, HE FOSTERED THEIR HOPES
AND ENCOURAGED THEIR AMBITIONS.
WE REMEMBER THE DUKE FOR ALL OF
THIS AND ABOVE ALL FOR HIS
STEADFAST SUPPORT FOR HER
MAJESTY, THE QUEEN.
NOT JUST AS HER CONSORT, BY HER
SIDE EVERY DAY OF HER REIGN, BUT
AS HER HUSBAND, HER STRENGTH AND
STAY OF MORE THAN 70 YEARS.
AND IT IS TO HER MAJESTY AND HER
FAMILY THAT OUR NATION’S
THOUGHTS MUST TURN TODAY BECAUSE
THEY HAVE LOST NOT JUST A MUCH
LOVED AND HIGHLY RESPECTED
PUBLIC FIGURE, BUT A DEVOTED
HUSBAND AND A PROUD AND LOVING
FATHER, GRANDFATHER AND IN
RECENT YEARS GREAT GRANDFATHER.
SPEAKING ON THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY, HER MAJESTY SAID
THAT OUR COUNTRY OWED HER
HUSBAND A GREATER DEBT THAN HE
WOULD EVER CLAIM OR WE SHOULD
EVER KNOW, AND I’M SURE THAT
ESTIMATE IS CORRECT.
SO WE MOURN TODAY WITH HER
MAJESTY, THE QUEEN.
WE OFFER OUR CONDOLENCES TO HER
AND TO ALL HER FAMILY.
AND WE GIVE THANKS AS A NATION
AND A KINGDOM FOR THE
EXTRAORDINARY LIFE AND WORK OF
PRINCE PHILIP, DUKE OF
EDINBURGH.
