Emotional Charles visibly moved as he hears ‘God Save the King’ following historic address to Parliament
“As I stand before you today, I cannot help but feel the weight of history which surrounds us and which reminds us of the vital parliamentary traditions to which members of both Houses dedicate yourselves with such personal commitment, for the betterment of us all.”
A solemn King Charles appeared visibly moved by the speeches, and the rendition of God Save the King.“I am deeply grateful for addresses of condolence, which so touchingly encompass what late sovereign beloved mother meant to us all,” he added.Addressing Parliament, he said: "From the fountain in New Palace Yard, which commemorates the late Queen's Silver Jubilee, to the sundial in Old Palace Yard for the Golden Jubilee.
Sir Lindsay said: "In your first address to the nation you recognised your life would change as a result of the new responsibilities."These are weighty responsibilities, as the early Queen Elizabeth said in her final speech to parliamentarians 'to be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it'."
