Thank
you
and
there's
no
other
hand
related.
So
we
won't
that
great
investors
of
interest,
I'm
sure
we
don't
have
any
statements,
we'll
move
on
to
our
agenda
item
three
on
this
up
for
the
occasion
and
marking
of
the
death
of
our
majesty
queen
elizabeth
third
members.
I
would
just
like
to
speak
and
then
we'll
be
opening
the
floor.
C
Following
the
passing
of
emergency
queen
elizabeth
ii,
we
stand
united
in
our
sense
of
loss
and
send
our
heartfelt
and
sincere
sympathies
to
the
royal
family
at
this
truly
most
difficult
of
times.
As
lord
mayor
of
our
mass
city
bombers
and
robin
burke
council
and
it's
a
privilege
to
represent
the
borough
and
the
series
of
engagements-
and
I
know
I
will
have
your
support
and
that
support
is
highly
valued.
C
Emojis
of
the
queen
meant
so
much
to
so
many,
and
it
really
is
only
the
beginning
to
register
in
our
hearts
and
minds
what
an
impact
this
devoted,
selfless,
loving
lady
has
had
on
our
nation
and
indeed
the
wider
world,
to
consider
her
unprecedented
dream
smiling
70
years
and
for
this
to
accumulate
specifically
and
not
unforgettably.
In
her
platinum,
jubilee
celebrations.
Only
a
short
time
ago
seems
in
retrospect
the
most
fitting
of
memorials
to
her
character
and
the
love
she
embodied
and
projected
throughout
her
service.
C
C
This
is
a
significant
moment
in
history
and
is
a
humble
experience
to
speak
as
the
first
citizen
of
this
borough.
We
remember
with
a
great
sense
of
gratitude,
her
majesty's
life
and
service.
I
know
many
of
you
will
want
to
pay
tribute
to
your
majesty
and
also
share
a
moment
or
memory.
That's
special
to
you,
as
we
think
of
queen
elizabeth's
70
reins
years
of
rain
in
a
faithful
service.
C
It
was
chatting
to
lady
today
at
our
service
of
proclamation,
and
it
was
just
great
to
hear
her
standing
in
the
middle
of
our
service
today,
who
had
been
there
70
years
ago,
and
she
was
telling
me
all
about
being
at
school
and
hearing
the
news
and
there's
not
many
of
us.
I'm
sure
we'll
remember
that
back
and
we
just
agreed
that
we
had
this
afternoon.
C
Our
queen
was
someone
who
loved
her
lord,
who
loved
her
family
and
she
loved
her
country.
Before
I
opened
the
floor
for
other
speakers,
I
would
like
to
send
my
best
wishes
and
the
wishes
on
behalf
of
all
the
citizens
of
arma
city,
bangladesh
and
gobenberg
council
to
king
charles
iii,
and
we
pray
that
he
will
be
blessed
with
health
and
strength
to
faithfully
serve
as
his
mother
did
before
him.
I
would
just
like
everyone
to
stand
please
for
a
moment.
Silence.
C
C
The
most
was,
as
he
sat
there
that
afternoon
there
was
a
wobbly
tail
on
the
floor
and
he
was
just
panicking
the
whole
time
he
didn't
have
as
much
else
going
on,
but
he
was
panicking
that
her
mother,
she
would
trip
and
fall
and
he
was
ready
to
catch
her.
So
I
know,
as
we
speak
to
many
different
people,
they
have
all
their
own
first
track
elections,
and
I
would
just
like
now
to
open
the
floor
and
we'll
call
upon
alderman
mark
baxter
crew
better
for
the
democratic
union's
party
to
speak.
Please
thank
you.
H
Okay,
that's
with
great
sadness,
but
his
group
leader
here
this
evening.
I
have
to
say
a
few
words
about
the
passing
of
our
monarch,
her
majesty
the
queen.
It
was
only
a
short
time
ago
that
I
paid
tribute
to
her
get
husband.
The
prince
fell
up
in
this
very
place,
even
with
such
advanced
years.
I
didn't
think
this
day
would
have
come
so
soon.
H
H
Since
then,
she
has
served
the
people
here
with
great
decorum
and
great
dignity,
a
lifetime
of
service
and
dedication
right
up
until
she
invited
liz
trust
to
former
government
on
tuesday
past
little
did
we
all
know
that
within
a
short
time,
it
would
be
a
new
sovereign
that
would
be
inviting
the
new
prime
minister
to
form
his
government
just
a
few
short
months
ago.
As
a
council,
we
celebrated
quite
rightly
her
majesty's
taught
them
jubilee,
70
years
of
service,
some
say
a
life
of
privilege,
but
to
give
seven
decades
to
us
her
subjects.
H
Her
majesty
led
by
example,
an
abundant
memory
of
that
being
when
she
sat
in
the
abbey
at
her
husband's
funeral
alone,
due
to
the
restrictions
and
posed
because
of
the
pandemic.
Here
she
reached
out
the
hand
of
friendship
and
reconciliation
when
we
all
knew
how,
personally,
how
hard
that
would
have
been.
She
herself
lost
a
family
member
at
the
hands
of
terrorists.
H
H
Much
has
been
said
about
queen
elizabeth
and
much
more
will
be
said
about
her
in
the
coming
days,
but
from
a
personal
perspective,
I
remember
with
great
great
fondness
the
garden
party
in
2014,
to
which
I
was
present
as
the
queen
made
her
way
back
into
hillsborough
castle.
The
procession
stopped
to
play
the
national
anthem,
as
is
custom
and
practice
as
fortune
would
have
it.
H
H
So,
on
behalf
of
the
dep,
I
would
want
to
pass
on
our
deeper
sympathies
for
the
royal
family
at
this
sad
time.
It's
a
huge
moment
in
history
for
us
all,
but
the
burden
of
loss
will
be
great
on
the
family
and
they
can
be
assured
of
our
prayers
as
they
mourn
the
passing
of
their
mother
grandmother
and
great-grandmother
to
king
charles
iii,
as
he
has
now
the
herculean
task
of
leaving
the
uk
on
the
commonwealth.
H
C
C
I
I
I
She
led
by
example,
building
relationships
with
those
of
us
who
are
irish
and
have
a
different
political
allegiance
and
from
herself
and
her
government,
I
would
like
to
offer
my
sincere
sympathies
and
condolences
to
your
children
under
extended
family
circle,
as
they
come
to
terms
with
their
grief.
Thank
you.
Lord
mayor.
D
D
D
D
We
will
mourn.
We
will
miss
her.
What
our
overwhelming
sentiment
will
be
of
gratitude
for
burned,
heartfelt
and
sincere
thanks
for
what
she
did
and
what
she
stood
for
for
the
life
she
lived
and
for
what
she
gave
us.
Her
reign
was
indeed
glorious
and
in-
and
it
was
our
great
good
fortune
to
have
her
to
ran
over
us.
D
That
was
a
momentous
occasion
and
a
historic
occasion
that
I
charge
to
this
day
a
day
in
which
my
party
colleague
became
the
lord
mayor
councillor
jim
nicholson,
mep,
may
I
conclude
my
remarks
on
her
majesty
queen
elizabeth
ii.
I
want
to
quote
some
famous
words
from
the
good
book,
the
bible
on
her
life
of
service
to
our
nation.
D
D
F
She
has
seen
many
prime
ministers
presidents
and
a
tate
pokes,
and
while
she
was
a
lady
of
duty
to
her
country,
we
remember
she
was
a
wife,
a
mother,
a
grandmother
and
indeed
a
great
grandmother.
The
blessing
of
a
long
life
does
not
make
the
burden
of
saying
goodbye
any
later,
and
our
thoughts
and
purge
are
with
them
of
what
must
be
a
difficult
time.
F
A
Grandmother
lord
mayor,
thank
you
on
behalf
of
the
alliance
party
representatives
on
council.
I
would
like
to
express
our
profound
condolences
to
the
royal
family
on
the
loss
of
the
queen,
a
much
loved,
mueller,
grandmother
and
great
great-grandmother,
but
while
they
have
lost
the
matriarch,
their
entire
country
has
lost
someone
who
provided
70
years
of
constant
and
dedicated
leadership.
A
Throughout
her
role
of
head
of
state,
the
queen
worked
tirelessly
in
service
to
the
public,
receiving
prayers
from
all
quarters
for
her
selfless
dedication
to
the
rule,
many
of
us
will
have
our
own
memories
of
the
queen.
For
me,
I
remember
her
visit
to
ireland
in
2011
the
first
visit
by
railing
british
monarch
since
the
formation
of
the
republic
of
ireland
during
the
state
dinner.
A
She
concluded
her
remarks
by
speaking
of
the
widespread
spurt
of
goodwill
and
deep
mutual
understanding
of
deserve
to
make
a
relationship
between
our
two
nations.
More
harmonious
and
close
as
good
neighbors
should
always
be
her.
Strong
support
for
reconciliation
is
one
of
the
many
aspects
of
her
life
which
will
remain
as
her
lasting
legacy,
and
I
hope
it
brings
her
family
on
the
day
to
all
those
grieving.
A
J
K
Lord
mayor,
like
thousands,
if
not
millions,
of
people
across
the
world,
this
number
of
days,
I
like
them,
have
been
immensely
saddened
by
the
passing
of
her
majesty
queen
elizabeth
as
a
community.
We
mourn
deeply
her
loss
as
if
she
was
one
of
her
own
and
even
at
the
proclamation
today
in
our
mass
city.
So
many
people
that
we
were
talking
to
had
said
the
exact
same.
She
was
like
a
grandmother
to
so
many
of
us
in
the
nation
70
years
of
service
to
the
nation,
the
commonwealth
and
indeed
the
world
an
unblemished
service.
K
As
we
look
back,
we
will
cherish
her
memory
and
remember
her
legacy
of
service
commitment
duty,
a
very
strong
worth
ethic,
selflessness
and
sacrifice
to
this
great
nation
for
so
many
years
in
this
council
area.
She
was
our
friend
and
we
were
all
delighted
when
she
bestowed
upon
armada
the
city
status
and
then
later
the
lord
morality
status
in
our
mass
city.
K
Our
prayers
are
with
the
entire
royal
family,
as
they
mourn
the
loss
of
a
mother,
a
mother-in-law,
grandmother
and
great-grandmother,
and
such
was
the
profound
loss
of
an
amazing
lady
for
them,
and
in
closing,
as
I
reflected
on
her
life,
the
verse
in
matthew,
chapter
21,
25,
verse,
21
came
immediately
to
mind
well
done.
Thy
good
and
faithful
servant
enter
thy
into
the
joy
of
thy
lord
to
king,
charles
iii.

One
search
was
patron
of
the
farmer's
club
in
whitehall
court.
London
at
the
entrance
hall
of
the
club,
is
a
beautiful
picture
of
our
queen
and
the
prince,
philip
each
and
every
time
I
stay
in
the
club.
This
portrait
is
lovingly
admired,
but
by
myself-
and
I
know
other
members
to
conclude
members
by
wishing
our
new
king
charles
iii,
god's
richest
blessing
as
he
leads
our
nation
forward.
L
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
and
at
the
outset,
can
I
thank
yourself
and
the
chief
executive
for
facilitating
tonight's
meeting
at
very
short
notice.
This
evening.
We
gather
to
pay
tribute
and
acknowledge
the
service
and
sacrifice
of
our
late
sovereign,
queen,
queen
elizabeth
ii,
how
blessed
we
have
been
to
have
lived
in
the
second
elizabethan
era,
an
era
in
which,
because
of
modern
technology,
we
were
able
like
none
before
to
have
access
to
our
queen.
L
Then
we
reflect
on
our
platinum
jubilee.
Only
a
few
short
months
ago,
there
was
such
joy
that
their
failing
and
health,
her
majesty,
was
able
to
take
part,
we
think
of
her
service
over
70
years,
right
up
until
hours
before
her
passing,
we
think
of
her
work
of
reconciliation
between
ourselves
and
the
irish
republic.
L
L
M
Thank
you,
lord
murr.
Lord
murder.
We
meet
here
this
evening
on
what
is
the
fire
sad
and
sort
of
location
following
the
passing
of
our
mark,
our
majesty
queen
elizabeth
ii,
as
the
nation's
longest-serving
monarch,
whose
reign
spawned
70
years
she
was
our
beloved
queen,
sadly
lost
at
30
evening.
We
were
saved
in
use
our
most
gracious
queen
had
passed
away,
and
this
evening
we
come
together
to
mourn
our
posse.
M
M
M
M
J
M
M
G
Thank
you,
lord
mayor,
for
affording
me
the
opportunity,
and
it's
simply
only
and
to
put
on
record
and
the
sympathies,
thoughts
and
prayers
extended
by
those
in
the
cushier
dea.
I
thought
it
could
be
conveyed
and
one
of
them
put
in
the
public
record
and
the
electorate
of
cusher
stands
with
them.
The
royal
family
at
this
time
and
their
husband,
as
husband,
said,
an
outpouring
of
grief,
and
I
just
had
everyone
hitting
me
at
the
time
too.
You
don't
think
it.
G
Well,
you
think
you
know,
you
know
you've
the
utmost
respect,
but
because
someone's
you
know
removed
from
you
it
might
you
feel
it
might
impact
you.
But
when
it
comes,
it
comes
in
like
a
wave,
and
it
does
impact
you
on
all
that
she
has
meant
to
many
communities
right
across
the
united
kingdom
and
right
across
the
world
and
there's
certainly
a
deep
sense
of
grief,
and
I
simply
wanted
to
to
put
on
record
and
the
thoughts
and
prayers
of
the
people
of
kusher
and
the
extension
of
those
two,
the
royal
family.
G
It
is
it's
surreal
as
well
as
we
stand
in
our
mod
today.
In
the
midst
of
of
the
morning-
and
we
have
this
period
of
change
and
the
proclamation
of
a
new
king
and
it
does
it
it
sort
of
encapsulates
life,
you
know
it's,
it's
always
changing.
There's
always
change,
no
matter
how
things
may
seem
to
remain
the
same
changes
is
only
what
an
eye
blink
away
and
that's
the
case.
G
In
this
circumstance
we
have
a
new
king
and
god
save
king
charles
iii,
and
I
wish
him
all
the
very
very
best
as
he
commences
this
amazing
journey
that
lies
before
him
without
his
mother.
Of
course,
that's
going
to
be
a
challenge
and
we
think
of
him
at
this
time
as
well.
We
think
of
the
family
and
all
the
pressure
that
will,
you
know,
undoubtedly
come
upon
them
and
you
know
over
the
next
few
months.
G
There'll
be
comparisons
needed,
and
you
know
the
media
will
be
extra
interested
in
how
this
will
all
play
out
and
we
just
think
and
pray
for
them
all
at
this
time.
And
it's
it's
just
that's
a
real
situation,
but
it's
one
where
we
take
comfort
from
our
lip
queen's
faith
in
the
lord,
and
I
think
that's
what
has
kept
her
so
grounded,
and
I
firmly
believe
that
that
she
grounded
herself
in
the
scriptures
and
for
70
years.
G
I
can't
imagine
any
other
roadmap
that
would
have
allowed
her
and
to
make
the
progress
she
made
and
for
you
know,
thinking
in
the
political
realm.
Mistakes
are
made
daily
and
they're
quite
costly
in
many
circumstances,
and
when
we
imagine
that
our
majesty
navigated
such
unimaginable
grief
at
times
and
also
times
of
elation
and
she
always
had
the
right
words
to
say,
and
they
sustained
people
and
not
shown
by
the
millions
of
people
that
have
expressed
their
sympathies
and
came
out
onto
the
streets
to
express
their
sympathy.
N
N
N
The
path
of
course,
she
said,
was
not
always
smooth
on
it.
Maybe
at
times
this
year
I've
felt
quite
bumpy,
but
small
steps
can
make
a
world
of
difference,
and
indeed
she
was
right.
She
was
right
about
many
things
in
those
christmas
speeches
and
indeed,
we
think
of
other
references
that
she
spoke
about.
The
good
samaritan
on
numerous
occasions
on
how
we
should
live,
learn
to
love
and
to
serve
others.
Well,
indeed,
I
sing
the
words
of
a
song.
Just
today,
the
song
is
called
r
elizabeth.
N
C
O
And
I
just
since
I
was
a
child,
I
followed
our
royal
family.
I
was
just
the
most
avid
family,
the
avid
follower
that
anyone
can
ever
imagine
in
those
days.
You
bought
the
papers.
You
took
the
paper
cuttings
out
and
you
put
them
into
a
scrapbook,
and
I
had
numerous
scrapbooks
everywhere
all
about
her
majesty
the
queen,
her
beauty,
her
fashion
sense
everything
just
her
whole
her
whole
demeanor.
Everything
and
from
I
was
no
wage
and
I'm
now
53
years
of
age.
O
I
just
followed
her
all
over
those
years
and
I
was
very,
very
blessed
back
in
may
23.
Well
many
times
I
was
with
counselor
or
older
man,
madrid.
When
he
mentioned
about
the
cavalcade
through
stormont,
I
had
the
honor
of
going
with
jim
to
buckingham
palace
and
the
jubilee
celebrations
jim,
and
I
also
had
the
privilege
of
going
to
london
and
seeing
her
majesty.
C
C
O
All
right,
but
the
most
memorable
memory
I
have
the
queen
was
back
in
may
2002
jim
and
I
weren't
long
married
and
he
was
he
wasn't
long,
a
counselor
and
he
had
got
this
special
invitation
through
that
there
was
a
special
visitor
coming
to
lesbian
council,
and
I
says
if
there's
not
a
plus
one
on
that
you're
not
going
so
anyway,
we
were
brought.
We
were
ushered
into
your
room
where
we
taught
the
whole
protocol
of
what
we
were
and
we're
not
supposed
to
do.
O
But
I
have
to
be
honest
with
you
folks,
when
the
queen
was
brought
over
to
me
to
be
introduced.
My
mind
went
blank.
I
don't
even
remember
if
I
court
seat
and
all
protocol
went
out
the
window
when
she
started
having
a
conversation
with
me,
and
it
was
just
one
of
the
most
memorable
occasions
for
a
young
girl
who
had
been
an
avid
follower
of
the
queen
for
all
of
those
years.
O
So
it
was
a
very,
very
special
memory
and
I
suppose
that's
what
tonight
was
all
about
just
our
own
personal,
special
memories
of
such
a
good
godly
christian
lady,
but
just
to
fall
just
to
finish
off
as
a
family.
We've
been
praying
for
our
new
king
and
the
queen
consort,
and
also
for
the
prince
and
new,
prince
and
princess
of
wales.
O
We
would
ask
for
god's
blessing
on
their
realm
with
wisdom
and
health
for
the
days
ahead,
because
there's
a
lot
of
responsibility
now
on
that
young
family
of
the
prince
and
princess
of
wales,
and
we
just
pray
that
the
lord
will
bless
them
and
keep
them
as
a
family
unit
and
still
have
some
kind
of
a
family
time
together,
even
as
they
try
to
continue
to
serve
our
country
and
we
just
pray
for
the
lord's
hand
as
well
on
our
new
king
and,
may
god
save
our
king.
Thank
you.
P
C

verses

a
good
fight.
I
finished

kept
the
faith
henceforth
or
set
up
for
me
a
crime
of
righteousness,
which
the
lord,
the
righteous
judge
shall
give
me
at
that
day
and
not
