A lovely tribute, passionately made.
I would dearly love to dine across the divide with John Harris of the Guardian. You would think a boy from Wilmslow, one of Cheshireās most healed areas, raised by parents with relatively high incomes and safe careers that allowed him the education and wherewithal to go to Oxford would be an institutionalist, traditional, establishment type. Iām intrigued by him. He talks of working class poverty yet not from his own start in life or personal experience. He seems pleased that 18-24 year olds have been republicanised, by whom I wonder people like his parents a university lecturer and teacher? There is one thing going to a comprehensive school in Wythenshawe in the 1980s and another going to a comprehensive in Wilmslow!

Sorry Peter, it was me that went off piste bringing up that republicanās like Harris state that 18-24 year olds donāt support the monarchy and I speculated on where they get their views from.

For my part, a-tracy, I was shocked to see how few mature parliamentarians bowed or curtseyed to the new King and Queen in Westminster Hall.

That was a rather splendid tribute, capturing the essence of the Queen’s magnificent approach.

He won’t. Charles said some years ago he wanted to be a Defender of Faiths.

Did he also say he wanted to be a Prosecutor of violence against faiths?

Thank you Sir John for your wonderful passionate and emotional tribute in honour of our truly great Queen.
You are a marvellous orator who speaks so well in Parliament.
I have been a supporter of our party and especially of you for decades.
Long may that continue.
God save the King.

A very heartfelt tribute to the Queen from Sir John on her unique contribution touching so many lives and levels, leading by example and over decades and so proud to be one of our own.

An historic speech as one would expect. Well done. It must have been upsetting to do.
