00:00So, ladies and gentlemen, as we look to the future, I won't see the long-distance future,
00:08but I'm enormously grateful to you all for what you can all do as supporters to help this vital
00:18endeavour to champion the next generation, ensuring that their talent and ambition continue
00:25to strengthen our societies for many years to come.
00:28And with the help of people like Lionel Richie, and I really mind that he isn't singing this evening.
00:34It's always a great treat. I don't know how he does it. He must gargle with port or something.
00:41Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here.
00:44You've been very noble to come and support, and if I may say, I see your presence and continued support.
00:51I really deeply appreciate it.
