00:03 Thank you, sir.
00:29 If you wouldn't mind one step to the left,
00:31 allow Her Majesty and the Lord Mayor to one side.
00:33 Thank you.
00:34 There we are.

01:49 Next, there is the breathing space we afford one another,
02:03 leaving us able to think and speak freely.
02:07 This well carries the politeness and respect we owe to one another.
02:13 Our willingness to put others first and treat them as we would wish them to treat us.
02:21 To listen to their views, and if we do not agree,
02:26 to remind ourselves to engage in a way which is passionate but not pugnacious.
02:35 This includes the practice of our religious faith in freedom and neutral understanding.
02:44 One of my first acts as Sovereign, a little over a year ago,
02:49 was to open the doors of Buckingham Palace to the leaders of the major faiths
02:56 represented across these islands, to welcome them with respect and indeed love,
03:03 and to rededicate my life to protecting the space for faith itself within our shores.
03:14 Such understanding, both at home and overseas,
03:19 is never more vital than at times of international turmoil and heartbreaking loss of life.
