The text of the proclamation, authored primarily one suspects by the Garter King of Arms (who acted as chief herald in personally issuing the proclamation from St James’s Palace), was just such a beautiful piece of English prose… all those juicy subordinate clauses.
@@andreslinares6429 Yes, I dare say you're right, sorry about that. We used to be rather good about this sort of thing, well, Canada anyway. Hope we can still be welcome at the table on holidays ?
RIP HM Queen Elizabeth II ,Thank you very much ma'am for your devoted and unwavering service of 70 years to the UK,Canada,Australia,New zealand , other realms , territories and the crown dependencies and of course the wider family of the commonwealth of nations .Your glorious memories will always be remembered with undiluted pleasure. God save the King, Long may he reign!
As one commentator has put it, " all those juicy subordinate clauses ". Yes indeed, a bright piece of quietly declarative tradition in the midst of a noisy world. I saw many of the kingdom wide proclamations during that momentous week but not as many as now here discovered. Most would probably agree they offer an interesting slice of social history. Seventy and more years ago vast crowds, on that chilly February day, looked on in pensive silence. Now the look and tone are more casual. Those gathered at the Royal Pavillon in Brighton were met with an introduction that struck me as sounding a bit like a welcome at a theme park. Yet no harm in that, we live in our time and whatever works, works and the essential meaning and participants endure. Just apparently posted, are two constitutional proclamations in Victoria Australia and in New Zealand. The commentary response has been shut down but that's another story. I can only imagine.
May she reign long over us from the heavens and bless us with wisdom knowledge, the honour of truth expressed through active education and pursuit of expressions of freedom .. as we learn and pray, elucidate each other… may she reign over her son the King of England
He's Canadian. He was the President of the University of British Columbia before joining Cambridge as VC. Either way, even as a Canadian he is a subject of the Crown.
It's a shame the population can't decide on the individual that is given this role on merit and prior accomplishment, as is the case for those that study and work at the University of Cambridge.
I'm wondering who you think is a better candidate given that the guy who got the job was literally raised from birth to do it, and has had 70+ years of training...
It's not necessarily a good thing to have an elected head of state as they will only represent those who voted for them. A monarch, in theory, is representative of everyone.
I am an American, and I solemnly assure you that living in a republic, where every figure and facet of government is mired in divisive party politics, having an elected politician as president is detrimental to the cohesion and unity of the nation. Britons should be grateful for the monarchy, and the sense of stability which it has come to represent, and the ability to have one part of government that can be a symbol of national unity divorced from party politics: citizens of republics don't have that luxury.
British people. Don’t let this tradition be erased by some modernist. This makes you unique as a nation and as a people.
Thank you for this. We Brits are humbled by the great gifts of history, that we have now inherited. God Save The King!
In love with this magical event ❤
I love how some people sung in harmony at the end
Nobody does pomp and circumstance better than the British

It was. Sadly it was butchered by some Commonwealth heralds
Oh, I do like this, nicely put.

King Charles graduated from Cambridge, and he is a Cambridge alumni

The speaker sounds American or perhaps Canadian?
Stephen Toope is Canadian.
He's Canadian. He was the President of the University of British Columbia before joining Cambridge as VC.
Either way, even as a Canadian he is a subject of the Crown.
The Vice Chancellor is Canadian
Dr Stephen Toope, outgoing Vice Chancellor, Canadian.

Give Charles a break. He's been in the intern program longer than anybody.
