On behalf of the constituents of Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, I very much echo the words, comments and sentiments of those who have contributed today. Tributes to Her late Majesty the Queen have come from all four corners of the world, and many have spoken more eloquently and written more articulately about Her Majesty and her reign than I ever could, so it is her words that I use to describe her.

Her strength and stay was her late husband the Duke of Edinburgh, and so too was she the strength and stay of this country for 70 years. The motion makes reference to Her Majesty's enduring commitment, especially to charities and organisations. Since 1957, Her Majesty the Queen has been a committed patron of young farmers' clubs and the opportunities the movement provides for young people in rural parts of the country. The Queen met with YFC members over her many years of service, and presented awards at the royal show. As chairman of Pembrokeshire YFC, I thank Her Majesty for her patronage of this charitable organisation, on behalf of past, present and future members across the country. Let's also not forget the special link the monarchy has with Pembrokeshire, with ancestral roots stretching back to the birth of Tudor King Henry VII in Pembroke castle, and, of course, by Her late Majesty's side throughout her life were her most loyal and doting companions, her Pembroke corgis.

I will remember Her Majesty with profound respect and admiration, but as we mark the life and service of Her Majesty the Queen, we welcome His Majesty King Charles III to the throne. Earlier this summer, I had the pleasure of welcoming His Majesty, then Prince of Wales, to the town of Narberth in my constituency. Local schoolchildren greeted him with song, people lined the streets, and a few businesses were lined up for him to visit. The then-Prince took his time, unrushed, to speak with and shake hands with many of the hundreds of people who had come out to greet him. He spoke to the school choir and their conductor, and thanked them for their performance. And not only did he visit those businesses that had been lined up, but he, with complete ease, visited others that had not been. For the King, this was one of hundreds, possibly even thousands, of visits that His Majesty had undertaken, but, for the people who came out that day to see him, it was one day they will never forget. The legacy of Her Majesty's selfless dedication to public service, to the people, continues resolutely through her son. God save the King.
