I speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow. Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived, a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. The affection, admiration and respect she inspired became the hallmark of her reign. In her life of service, we saw that abiding love of tradition together with that fearless embrace of progress which makes us great as nations. She made sacrifices for duty. Her dedication and devotion of sovereign never wavered through times of change and progress,. Through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss.
