Queen Elizabeth II has issued a message to the United Kindom
and the Commonwealth, in a bid to rally the nation to unite in the fight
against the coronavirus pandemic. Her message came at the time when the world is gripped by
fear and deaths brought by COVID19. The
statement was released after the Queen left Buckingham Palace for Windsor
Castle, where she is joined by Prince Philip.
The Queen urged everyone to “change our normal routines and
regular patterns of life for the greater good of the communities we live in.”
Here is the full transcript of Her Majesty’s message.
As Philip and I arrive at Windsor today, we know that many
individuals and families across the United Kingdom, and around the world, are
entering a period of great concern and uncertainty.
We are all being advised to change our normal routines and
regular patterns of life for the greater good of the communities we live in and,
in particular, to protect the most vulnerable within them.
At times such as these, I am reminded that our nation’s
history has been forged by people and communities coming together to work as
one, concentrating our combined efforts with a focus on the common goal.
We are enormously thankful for the expertise and commitment
of our scientists, medical practitioners and emergency and public services; but
now more than any time in our recent past, we all have a vitally important part
to play as individuals - today and in the coming days, weeks and months.
Many of us will need to find new ways of staying in touch
with each other and making sure that loved ones are safe. I am certain we are
up to that challenge. You can be assured that my family and I stand ready to
play our part.
