For the first time, gave queen Elizabeth a televised speech in occasion of easter. The british must keep hope, it sounded.
Coronaviruses must not “defeat” us, said Britain’s queen Elizabeth on Saturday in a speech to the nation.
On a completely unusual show tinted the 93-year-old queen for the second time in just one week on the british tv screens with a special message.
– this year will easter be different for many of us, but by keeping distance, we keep each other in safety. Easter is not cancelled. We have more use for easter than ever before, she said.
Last Sunday gave queen Elizabeth her only the fifth television address to the nation in the course of his 68-year-long reign.
Here sounded a similar message: That the british, by holding together and by sticking to their closure of the society can defeat the Covid-19-the epidemic.
Then she pulled on his memoirs from the Second world War and referred to the Vera Lynns famous song “We’ll Meet Again”, that were to keep the courage up among british soldiers.
This time stressed the queen, who is the symbolic head of the anglican church and reportedly takes his faith quite seriously, that the easter message can help the british.
– The genopstande Christ gave on easter Sunday his followers a new hope and new purpose, and we can all find the courage in, she said.
– We know that the corona virus will not defeat us. As dark as death can be – especially for those who are struggling with grief – is the light and life stronger. Must list the live fire be a faithful guide, while we enter in the coming time.
the Queen’s message was sent, while Britain’s death toll Saturday was approaching 10,000, and the authorities reported on 917 new dead in a day.
Along with several other members of the royal family she holds usually a traditional påskegudstjeneste in Windsor Castle, where she is currently staying with his 98-year-old husband, prince Philip.
In the year it is, however, canceled due to restrictions in the context of larger assemblies.
