00:00 [PAUSE]

00:04 Thank you, Kate, and thank you everyone for coming along today for this momentous occasion.

00:10 I'd like to congratulate Lisa Benstett on the award of this three-year grant,

00:17 which will do much to connect people in a variety of ways,

00:22 address social issues, including the vaccination of children,

00:26 contributing to better understanding and improving good relationships between people.

00:35 I have had the pleasure to meet so many of you in this room over the last year,

00:42 and you have all been so welcoming and so friendly to both myself and Ian,

00:48 and we have had an absolutely amazing time at all of your events,

00:54 with such laughter and lots of smiles, and yes, amazing food.

01:00 So I'd like to thank you very much for inviting us along to all of those events.

01:05 We very much look forward to hearing about the other events that are now coming up

01:12 over the next few months and years, and believe me, if we hear about them, we will be there.

01:19 [LAUGHTER]

01:22 So really, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for everything that you all do

01:28 for Exeter and the wider community.

01:31 Ian will laugh now, because as I keep saying in a lot of my speeches, as a nurse,

01:37 I know that the contribution within the NHS of members of communities from around the world

01:45 and with outpatient individuals, the NHS and our local health service would not run

01:51 and you do an outstanding job in that regard.

01:55 And those of you who don't work in that sector also do an outstanding job in other sectors

02:01 to contribute to our economy and our society.

02:05 I am very proud of Exeter, as everyone knows, and I am very proud of the fact that it's becoming

02:11 more diverse. It's always been a community in the city, but what I really enjoy is getting to know

02:20 and meeting people from other cultures who have come here and made Exeter their home.

02:27 So I very much look forward to meeting you all again in the future, and just wanted to close by saying

02:34 a huge thank you to everyone.

02:38 [APPLAUSE]
