Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:11 pm on 2 February 2022.
Diolch, Llywydd. Firstly, I'd like to thank Darren Millar for tabling this motion, and I make a very brief contribution because, with others, I, too, would like to extend my congratulations to Her Majesty the Queen on the seventieth anniversary of her accession to the throne. Her Majesty has remained a constant reminder of public service throughout my life and has served with dedication, honour and dignity. She has shown herself to be a woman of strength and resilience and of strong Christian faith, which has been a source of inspiration to me as a Christian and, as we have heard, to others as well. She has shown the importance of women, as well, in not only our country but across our world. It was for me a great privilege to get to meet her for the first time at the opening of the sixth Senedd last October. And I finally say, 'Best wishes to you, Your Majesty. I extend my congratulations on this significant milestone'.
