00:00Millions will remember her for moments of national significance,
00:05many others for a fleeting personal encounter,
00:10a smile, a kind word that lifted spirits,
00:14or for that marvellous twinkle of the eye
00:18when sharing a marmalade sandwich with Paddington Bear
00:22in the final months of her life.
00:27Much about the times we now live in, I suspect,
00:31may have troubled her deeply,
00:33but I take heart from her belief
00:36that goodness will always prevail
00:38and that a brighter dawn is never far from the horizon.
00:44For, as a young Princess Elizabeth put it
00:47in her first ever public broadcast,
00:50aged just fourteen,
00:53we can each play our part
00:55to make the world of tomorrow
00:58a better and happier place.
01:01It is a belief which I share with all my heart.
01:05In this, I renew my own solemn pledge
01:08of duty and service to you all.
01:13God bless you, darling Mama.
01:15You remain forever in our hearts and prayers.
