In her speech, the 86 year old monarch reflected on how this year’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations had left her feeling humbled, particularly as thousands of people had lined the streets in heavy downpours of rain to see her. She also spoke of the impact the Olympic games had on Britain as a nation and had particular praise for the paralympic athletes.
The Queen also praised troops serving on the front line over Christmas and asked the nation to remember them and to spare a thought for military families celebrating the holiday season without their loved ones.
