Dirprwy Lywydd, I'm sure Members will appreciate how difficult it is to add to the tributes that have been paid to the Queen today. The theme that has run through all the speeches today is one that is familiar to us. It is one we hold high as politicians. It is that of public service. In a world of social media, of instant news, the one theme that resonates is that of public service, and, whatever one's views of the issue of monarchy, whatever one's politics, whatever one's beliefs, there is one view that I believe transcends all these differences, which is that, throughout her life, she has been an exemplar of the importance of public duty.

What is also undeniable is the depth of affection and respect in which she is held, both across this Chamber and by many of those we represent. And it is an affection and respect that has not been taken for granted. It would have been tempting, being born into a position of privilege, to have sought loyalty and deference by right, as perhaps her medieval predecessors might have done. But, through her actions, she has always strived to earn the trust of the people, demonstrated in the stories and the anecdotes that we have heard today.

In our constitutional monarchy, she quite rightly does not speak publicly on matters of politics. She does, however, sometimes seem to communicate her views in more subtle ways, most recently, in the display of flowers in the colours of the Ukrainian flag in the background when she met with the Canadian Prime Minister earlier this year. And I think few here will forget or disagree with those discreetly overheard comments at the recent opening of the Senedd, when discussing COP26 with our Presiding Officer, I recall, how she was irritated by people—I suspect she might have meant politicians—who talk but they don't do.

I thank Members for their contributions today. It is right that we took some time to reflect on the character and contribution of our longest lived and longest surviving monarch. As we look forward to celebrating with the Queen next week, I'm sure Members will join with me once again in expressing our nation's recognition of her devotion and service, and our congratulations on reaching such a momentous milestone. Diolch.
