I never thought I would say it...but Boris gave the most heartfelt and warming speech that he has ever given.
"heartfelt"?
He and his lackies repeatedly lied to her to hide their crimes, and while she and the country were staying away from their dying loved ones, he was getting drunk partying.
He didn't respect her or the British people in the slightest.
I preferred Theresa's
mite have done his hair
Great speech Boris!
Why was the BBC getting people to talk about her in the past tense?? "Boris' confession"
“Because she had always been there and we thought she could be eternal. “ that’s exactly how I felt. Heartwarming speech Boris👍🏻
Our unrealistic expectations then.
Very MUCH...i thought she was Mortal but she did live long....like weve always wished Long live the QUEEN 👸
So like Pope John Paul II and Michael Jackson.
@@sinavereivalu6744 I think you mean immortal
@@louisedow6489 not relevant but thanks
I’m not a boris Johnson fan but this speech is 100 times better than what Liz Truss conjured up. A proper, dignified speech and memoir
From Ireland. Wow that must be his best speech ever. Well done Boris. Deepest sympathy to the Royal family and UK on the death of your beloved Queen. Lord have mercy on her beautiful Soul. 🙏☘️
Got to give credit where it is due. That was a great speech, one the Queen would have smiled at.
Sheep
Even the Labour party appreciated it for what it was, with a fullsome tribute immediately following.

Like she smiled when she found out borris was partying the night before her husbands funeral. Ye bet she's smiling now
That was a freaking GREAT Tribute to Queen Elizabeth.
Johnson is not fit to give tributes! Let's look at his behaviour
Johnson lied to her in 2019 and caused her to break constitutional when he forced her to illegally prorogue parliament?
Law breaking Johnson that partied and presided over parties while she set an example and mourned her husband alone.
Johnson whose silly antics in refusing to resign resulted in her being dragged, at 96, to London to discuss every possible constitutional ramification and way of saving her country from him.
@@catherinematthews9573 Yep, and yet, he is a fantastic public speaker. No matter your issues with him, I guarantee you, right here and now, Lizz trust, with her ostrich looking features will not only one up him as the worst prime minister to exist, her public speaking abilities are so poor, I fail to even feel any slight emotion from her words.
@@catherinematthews9573 get over it.
A queen who knighted pedos
@@peteb3091 You get over it. Lol
I am no fan of Mr Johnson but he deserves all the praise for this fine speech. Elizabeth the Great indeed.
Will she be called "Elizabeth the Great" in years to come? King Alfred, who created England, is the only English Monarch to have borne that title.
When Boris speaks in this way, he is so compelling. He has chosen his words so poignantly and so well. This is just how I feel and even though I know she is gone, I can't quite believe she is really gone forever.
She’s 96
Yeah I'm sure he spoke so elegantly when he had to apologise to her for being one of the worse PMs in British history
Believing she's gone forever has to be accepted, when anybody dies, that's can't be undone or changed, as much as we all wish it could be, but believing she's gone, is a crazy thought many of us can't believe, is what you mean.
@@The_North0 Yes, but some have lived way past 100, so draw your own conclusions.
Your speech is overhelming nicely delivered .
Well done to Boris Johnson for putting into words what most of us feel but cannot express.
About the only decent thing he has done or said since 2020!
@@weirdplanet1082 furlough, vaccine etc. some bloody mistakes too but it is certainly not what you are trying to imply
@@danielsimmonds4299 i doubt you even know what i'm implying but keep trying! 😂 If you can't understand his true nature or how big of an evil crook he really is then you have a lot to learn!
Didn't expect Boris' speech to be so heartfelt, full of admiration and thankfulness and just overall incredibly lovely! Well done, BoJo.
Pardon me. I thought that BoJo was used in derogatory remarks when people want to point out that he is a lier or has no dignity.
He will bounce back 😊
@@ConstructiveMinds100 no everyone has always called him bojo?
So true.
What he Said in his speech was so true!
A fabulous speech.
This speech is absolutely magnificent. A brilliant tribute to Her Majesty.
Am I the only one who think that this is the best speech ever come out from Boris Johnson's mouth? This is one of the best tributes to Queen Elizabeth II. Can feel the sincerity and I believe this speech comes from Boris Johnson's heart.
His team of speech writers did well.
Once in a great while, Boris says just the right thing; this tribute to the Queen is right on target.
When ? I must have missed every single one !

Pure class, Boris. Eloquent and sincere. All my respect. Thank you for speaking for so many of us.
Boris said it all. Simple and plain.
Love from Portugal ❤🌺
I cannot believe Boris Johnson made me weep in the most exquisitely heartfelt way possible. Perfectly executed speech, genuine to its core, and worthy of a QUEEN,S TRIBUTE❣️
Yep, me too!
Zdravím z ČR , přeji všem hodně sil do budoucna
Not too quickly! He's got a very unfortunate habit of putting his feet into his mouth, too often and too much! I don't hold any enthusiasm for that reason.
I agree!
Same
Pound-for-pound, when he's not being conniving, he's one of the best communicators going. Great tribute.
"one of the best communicators going"
Which makes Boris' occasional clottishness SO tragic.........................IMHO.
Totally agree with you.
RIP to the Queen of Canada. She was our Queen for almost half of our 153 year old nations' history. And we are immensely proud to have her as our sovereign and head of state. Long lived the Queen. Dieu Sauve le Roi!
She was our Queen, and she was a great one.
Long live the King of Canada!
This beautifully delivered speech will be remembered for years to come.
Boris can deliver still, a level of oratory that we should expect from our politicians.
This is what a proper parliamentary speech sounds like.
Not an easy thing to get right, but Boris what ever you think of him was brilliant here.
Speaking straight from the heart where the truth lies other then speaking from his mind where his words lie
@@stephen2992 first time for everything lol
What a loss Brilliant orater
Fine speech.Arguably the finest speech he has ever given.
You can be sure he's been working on it for months, if not years. Probably the best prepped the lazy fraud has ever been.
@@helveticaification theresa May's was far better but doesn't get a mention here !
@@Enticers Theresa may was just another war criminal
He is a great speech writer full stop and his PMQs were always a source of entertainment.
Boris is actually quite smart
Perhaps if he'd spent the last 3 years being so coherent and well spoken he might still be in office.
A lovely and touching speech. (Probably the first compliment that man has ever had from me)
Haha, yes. With this one speech, I see him with new eyes.
No matter what we think of Boris, We cannot deny He has a way with words . I think He captured very well the feelings of most Brits.
Not at all comparing Boris to Winston Churchill, but this speech was almost as moving as Churchill's 1952 speech upon King George's death..Well Done BoJo 👏
Omg yes I think I remember that speech!! Loved Winston churchill
His speech, the one by Harriet Harman and the one by Theresa May were excellent. They showed the *human* side of the Queen. If I had one criticism of the Queen, it is that we didn't get to see enough of her as a spontaneous person, as opposed to hearing her reciting a speech that had probably been written by someone else (and if it hadn't been, it sounded as if it had).
One advantage that Charles has is that he has lived a lot of his life free of the tighter restrictions of being monarch, so we have got to know him better as a person.
Lots missing tho - the time he lied to her to con her into illegally proroguing parliament. Or how much partying was enjoyed at No 10 while she set an example to the country by mourning her beloved husband alone. And I'd love to have heard how she was dragged to London at the age of 96 to go thru every possible constitutional scenario to protect our democracy when the big hypocritical man baby was refusing to resign. So much missed.
@@catherinematthews9573 It would have been inappropriate for him to have put himself and the various controversies of his tenure at the center of any such speech. I was all but certain that when he mentioned how she'd assured everyone during the depths of COVID they'd meet again, that he was going to say "and we did... some of us when sooner than we should have".. but he had the restraint not to.
I agree
I'm not a fan of Boris Johnson but what a lovely speech he gave honouring the queen who was without a doubt the greatest monarch this country ever had
It wasnt his speech....he is just an actor playing a role
The queen is the greatest benefits scrounger of all
I am inspired by her and wish I could scrounge this country that much .
Just remember when he had COVID and wanted to visit the queen. This was a great opportunity for him to claw back some respectability!
You know and we know that you don’t have the moral fibre to even be permitted to clean the toilets of the person doing that job.
@@PeachesandCream225 lol he never had covid stop being silly
I live in New Zealand and a 45 year old male and I couldn’t stop crying when waking up and reading the news and switching on to see the coverage. She was our head of state and an amazing woman who gave everything for her nation and the commonwealth. May her majesty Queen Elizabeth II Rest In Peace and finally rest now knowing how she has shape this world. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
I am a 63 year old Australian and it will be strange seeing Charles on the back of our coins
I absolutely can relate to what Boris said. I am American, but i feel an overwhelming sadness at her passing.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II 💙🙏
Boris certainly has a way with words; well said Boris.
He does indeed. Like the words he used when with the Queen, that turned out to be untruthful. A lie, if you will
Yes he does he made people wear a muzzle 😷 and told people to stay at home as he was out partying laughing how dumb people are.
Boris wrote the most beautiful heartfelt statement about the Queen after her death.
He did
Yes he did
She was such a special lady and a great queen 🕊
Yea doesn't take away from the fact that when her husband died he was having a party in lockdown.
Or someone else did?
Sudden unexpected emotion almost a familial loss. Exactly what I felt an Indian origin Canadian. This is a heart felt speech, much love and respect.
Indians are the future of Canada and the UK. They’re going to takeover the country one day through sheer birthdate and liberal immigration policy.
Breeding out other ethnicities (mainly European) until every urban center looks like places such as Brampton, Ontario.
Cheers fellow Indian! (Side-to-side head bobble)
AMAZING TRIBUTE TO QUEEN ELISABETH THE GREAT, THE WHOLE WORLD WE MISS HER DEARLY. ❤❤❤❤❤
Boris has his own flaws but the man's political stamina is admirable
Absolutely 💯
What a fantastic speech and tribute. This is the statesman we wanted to see, and clearly the finest tribute I’ve yet heard.
Hypocritical nonsense from Johnson.
Johnson lied to her in 2019 abd caused her to break constitutional when he forced her to illegally prorogue parliament?
Law breaking Johnson that partied and presided over parties while she set an example and mourned her husband alone.
Johnson whose silly antics in refusing to resign resulted in her being dragged, at 96, to London to discuss every possible constitutional ramification and way of saving her country from him.
I needed a bucket to listen to the lying hypocrite
theresa ?
I thought Trudeau came across far more genuine and heartfelt. These guys seem to just read from a long prepared statement…
Do you believe for a moment that he started crying when asked to speak of her in the past tense?
@@travelwell6049 I’m always suspicious of what a politician claims, but I think too that we forget to humanise them too.
As Dutchman, having lived 25 years in republics for work (France, Turkey & Bangladesh), I always say that the best and real democracies are the Western-European kingdoms. They are the most stable countries, with the happiest people.
In the Netherlands, more than 78% of people are satisfied with the level of democracy (2019). And a comparable number of people is in favour of the monarchy.
Who have the highest approval rates, that no president will ever reach, as they are political figures ? The European kings and queens.
Having a prime minister with above her or him a head of state that can really be the seen as the embodiment and soul of a country: no republic can say, or has, the same. And it prevents us from having situations as in the USA or other republics, as France, where a president can take too much power as there is "nobody" above him anymore.
But the UK has indeed been blessed with the most outstanding monarch, and yes, I too did shed a tear when I heard that H.M. Queen Elizabeth had passed away. She was a sort of "super"-queen among the monarchs.
I think you have a very naive and uninformed viewpoint. She didn't prevent the Iraq invasion when a million people were protesting in the streets, did she? She has no political influence at all. It is parliament that keeps politicians in check, as it should be, just as in Republics, it is the senate.
And it's Queen Elizabeth 2nd.
Side note:
Got to salute to the old man giving up his place for a woman at 2:18. A true British gentelman.
Sir Peter Bottomley, the Father of the House.
What a beautiful heartfelt speech, credit where credits due
RIP Queen Elizabeth II
No modern politician can match Boris Johnson for a well delivered impeccable speech, tinged both with humour and sadness.
It's a shame that's all he can do.. He should've stuck to tabloid journalism. Shame about the Queen though. Long live the king.

Thanks Boris. I use to watch Prime Minister Question Time for sheer entertainment value but this was heartfelt and sincere.
Had the pleasure of meeting the Queen at a charity do once. She was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

I have respect for Boris! His speech made me choke in tears. I am from Singapore and living in Hong Kong and we are part of the commonwealth and I followed the Queen my whole life!!!
I forgot she is human and will perish. I thought she will live forever!
It’s only fitting to laugh during these kinds of moments. Because, Queen Elizabeth actually had a wonderful sense of humor, which most overlooked because of her monarchy.
As an American, I have shed tears for her loss. As, it’s a very familial feeling, like losing my grandmother all over again. When in fact, my grandmother was 104 when she died only after contracting an infection after falling and breaking her hip while mowing her yard with an old manual push mower. She was as one tough woman! She was in NYC on her honeymoon when the Titanic survivors arrived.
I’m sure she enjoyed that speech, very much, from above. One for the history books, as they say. ❤️
Or from below. Nothing is certain in our feeble humanity, not until death strips is of our finite lives.
A lovely speech ... thank you Boris. I'm sure that the Queen smiled down from heaven.
His best ever speech. What a fine tribute.
One minute in and best word for word tribute I've heard yet . Respect to you sir and rip 🙏 queen of humanity 💎
What a wonderful tribute from such a gifted orator, exactly what we need at a time like this. The fourteenth Prime Minister giving a speech that her first Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, would have been proud of.
Well, there was no "atanyratethatiswhatwearegoingtotrytodo" so I doubt he would have been.
Probably the only decent almost human thing he has done during his time in Westminster! Doesn't make amends for all the damage & harm he's caused the UK.
Senceriity is not a virtue he is known for.
Benny ChurcHill
I have never heard Boris Johnson speak so eloquently as he did in this presentation! I was in awe! Queen Elizabeth the Great is a name that is aptly fitted for she truly was Great! The examples he listed speak for themselves.
This was the tribute our country needed. Much more heartfelt and patriotic. 🇬🇧👑🇬🇧💔🖤
Magnificent. Beautifully honest and heartfelt. This is Boris at his best.
I read that the Queen had a special fondness for Boris. He was able to make her laugh. I can imagine this is very personal for him. Beautiful speech. We are still trying to wrap our head around the loss of the Queen. Even though I have always been Team Diana… today I feel huge support for King Charles and already feel that he will be a worthy King. He has had the very best example on how to reign. The Queen will always be in our hearts. Sending condolences to the family and friends… and the British people and Common Wealth Countries. She has served us wonderfully.💔
I'm fairly sure she wasn't laughing after he lied to her over that prorogation.
@Damian Thomas. not as much as the left lies. The socialists are such jokes. And she knew it.
Absolutely. 👍
She laughed at him because he's a clown
did he follow all the rules?
The crown was never her responsibility yet she did it better than Queen Victoria because Edward VIII decided to abdicate. Having lost her father and not even having the time to grieve, she ascended the throne at 25 and since then saw the world change around her. Having lost the close family one by one- father, grandmother, sister, mother and at last her husband of 70 plus years. She was surrounded by family yet alone since the passing of Duke of Edinburgh. She carried the crown all her life, through the toughest times though her actual passion lied in horses.
She was so loved and cherished. I drew strength from her like many and found comfort. RIP Her majesty the Queen, Elizabeth II. You will always remain one of the greatest of all. I feel better knowing that you are with your Philip now.
Hear! Hear!
I hope
I will try to remember your words to block out all the vile comments 😭
If Edward VIII had not abdicated, he'd have been king until his death in 1972. And since he and Wallis did not have any children, the crown would then have passed to... Elizabeth. So she'd have been Queen eventually, but as it happens we got her for an extra 20 years.

Hello Tracy, how are you doing?
Say what you want about Boris. That was a brilliant speech and a brilliant tribute to a wonderful women and queen she will be forever missed ❤️
That was the best speech of all I have heard honoring the late Queen. In it, Johnson also called her Elizabeth the Great, which is the name given to distinguish monarchs
in many countries who were considered the best, and which she deserves richly.
Hello how are you doing 😊
As a doctor from Pakistan please accept my condolence.
She was so wise in advise and also calm and in compusure.
She will remain a role model for many generations to come regardless of the demographic region, she was icon, an institution, and symbol of class and dignity.
No matter what happened, she steadfast to her promise she made at her coronation ceremony.
She did not have the luxury to grieve her father, and took up responsibilities right after.
She is eternal and live in the hearts of people and generations to come.
Mr.Boris gave a very heartfelt speech .🙏🇵🇰🇦🇺
Even for someone who's not English, her death is unsettling. It's a really weird sensation to realise that England have no longer a queen when that's all you knew for so many years. I have no doubt that Charles III will be a great king, he learn from the best after all. All my condolences to her family & her country.
if u go out of England u ll find how many people hate queen whn she was ruling at the the middle age...we dnt have to b sad about queen she is not our family or anything else she is just a robbery who looted many resources around the the world when she was young...india never forget here rude behavior towards Indian people

@@freshprince3891 You can't say how something is going to affect someone.
Why are you here commenting on a video about the Queen?
Find something useful to do.
How, in an era when PM’s seem to change as rapidly as the seasons, she has provided us with a political stability that has protected us from looking like a third world banana republic, which is some feat that even countries like Italy, Greece and Poland could only dream of when the EU has stepped in to try and play that role.
@Fresh Prince it’s really none of your business how it affects them
It's strange that you say shock, the woman was 96 years old, this wasn't going to go on for much longer
As an American, I have always appreciated and respected the historical role and cultural significance of Queen Elizabeth II and her family in British history. That said, Thursday was truly an auspiciously sad day for both the United Kingdom and the rest of the world, including my country, the United States of America. May G-d bless both her family and the people of Great Britain. Rest in Peace, Queen Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 - 8 September 2022). 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
"This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England ... "

I was surprised that it upset me so much. I cried and cried. I live in the US, never really followed the Royal family so it surprised me how sad I am at her passing 🙏😭 RIP in peace Queen Elizabeth II-
The state of Ohio, USA, where I call home, put their flags at half mast for the Queen. A symbol of mourning here in America. I found myself simultaneously saluting that flag and praying for British and the people of the Commonwealth because a great adventure has ended in the death of Queen Elizabeth, and a new unknown adventure has begun with the passing of the torch. The world is watching you Great Britain, hold your heads up high even as the tears fall. The future is coming and we need you to be one of the great powers in that future.
Our flags are at half staff in Virginia too, fitting for a state named for Elizabeth I.
I'm in Victoria. Australia. Yet another Queen in history.
No adventure has ended, the torch has been passed on to King Charles III
