My Lords and Members of the House of
Commons,
I am most grateful for your Loyal Addresses and
the generous words of the Lord Speaker and Mr.
Speaker.
This great institution has been at the heart of the
country and the lives of our people throughout
its history. As Parliamentarians, you share with
your forebears a fundamental role in the laws
and decisions of your own age. Parliament has
survived as an unshakeable cornerstone of our
constitution and our way of life.
History links monarchs and Parliament, a
connecting thread from one period to the next.
So, in an era when the regular, worthy rhythm of
life is less eye-catching than doing something
extraordinary, I am reassured that I am merely
the second Sovereign to celebrate a Diamond
Jubilee.
As today, it was my privilege to address you
during my Silver and Golden Jubilees. Many of
you were present ten years ago and some of you
will recall the occasion in 1977. Since my
Accession, I have been a regular visitor to the
Palace of Westminster and, at the last count,
have had the pleasurable duty of treating with
twelve Prime Ministers.
Over such a period, one can observe that the
experience of venerable old age can be a mighty
guide but not a prerequisite for success in public
office. I am therefore very pleased to be
addressing many younger Parliamentarians and
also those bringing such a wide range of
background and experience to your vital,
national work.
During these years as your Queen, the support
of my family has, across the generations, been
beyond measure. Prince Philip is, I believe, well-
known for declining compliments of any kind.
But throughout he has been a constant strength
and guide. He and I are very proud and grateful
that The Prince of Wales and other members of
our family are travelling on my behalf in this
Diamond Jubilee year to visit all the
Commonwealth Realms and a number of other
Commonwealth countries.
These overseas tours are a reminder of our close
affinity with the Commonwealth, encompassing
about one-third of the world’s population. My
own association with the Commonwealth has
taught me that the most important contact
between nations is usually contact between its
peoples. An organisation dedicated to certain
values, the Commonwealth has flourished and
grown by successfully promoting and protecting
that contact.
At home, Prince Philip and I will be visiting
towns and cities up and down the land. It is my
sincere hope that the Diamond Jubilee will be an
opportunity for people to come together in a
spirit of neighbourliness and celebration of their
own communities.
We also hope to celebrate the professional and
voluntary service given by millions of people
across the country who are working for the
public good. They are a source of vital support
to the welfare and wellbeing of others, often
unseen or overlooked.
And as we reflect upon public service, let us
again be mindful of the remarkable sacrifice and
courage of our Armed Forces. Much may indeed
have changed these past sixty years but the
valour of those who risk their lives for the
defence and freedom of us all remains
undimmed.
The happy relationship I have enjoyed with
Parliament has extended well beyond the more
than three and a half thousand Bills I have
signed into law. I am therefore very touched by
the magnificent gift before me, generously
subscribed by many of you. Should this beautiful
window cause just a little extra colour to shine
down upon this ancient place, I should gladly
settle for that.
We are reminded here of our past, of the
continuity of our national story and the virtues
of resilience, ingenuity and tolerance which
created it. I have been privileged to witness
some of that history and, with the support of my
family, rededicate myself to the service of our
great country and its people now and in the
years to come.
