To spoil the trend, I am yet to win a best-dressed competition, but I hope that might change next week at the Ruabon Platinum Jubilee celebrations. I'd like to begin, though, by saying just what a pleasure it is to contribute to this debate and to support the motion, and to thank every organisation in Clwyd South that is organising such a diverse range of celebratory events for the Platinum Jubilee. I think, whether you're a monarchist or a republication or, indeed, indifferent, this special moment in our time really does recognise something that we can all agree on: we're celebrating relentless hard work, tireless commitment, loyalty, dignity and respect for duty by the longest serving monarch in British history. And this is a time for us all to come together in recognising these incredible attributes and to pay our respects to Her Majesty the Queen. The Platinum Jubilee will offer us a rare chance for the nation to put aside divisions and to take time to value community, public service and loyalty to others. 

Now, the Queen has never expressed extraordinary views; instead she has been extraordinary in putting the unity and the well-being of her people first in discharging such an incredibly difficult duty. And in a world where division has become increasingly apparent at the international and the national and regional level, the Queen has striven to ensure that the Commonwealth remains as relevant as ever. She's always placed unity of nations, international unity and unity of regions right at the heart of her work.

Now, some people might not choose to celebrate the reign of Queen Elizabeth II in this coming week, but I do hope that everybody will salute the unparalleled and very positive contribution that the Queen has made to our history. And as we approach 2023 and thereafter 2024, let's hope that the Queen goes on to become not just Britain's, but the entire world's longest serving monarch. Diolch.
