A speech by Princess Alexandra at a reception to celebrate her Patronages

Nous avons le devoir de nous souvenir et d’honorer Ia mémoire de ceux qui ont servi vaillamment et qui ont tant donné ici, sur la crete de Vimy, et tout au long de la Premiere...

It is our duty to remember and honour those who served so valiantly and who gave so much here at Vimy Ridge and throughout the First World War.

Prince Philip and I were deeply saddened to learn of the devastating flooding and landslides in Mocoa this weekend.

You have established yourselves as a unified Regiment and a force without match

My thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy are with all those who have been affected by yesterday's awful violence.

I hope that the new memorial will provide a place to remember, to grieve for what is lost, and to give thanks for what remains

Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and the wounded, and with the Turkish people at this time.

I am delighted to offer all Canadians my best wishes and congratulations on the 150th anniversary of Confederation

C’est un plaisir pour moi de transmettre mes meilleurs voeux et mes félicitations aux Canadiens et Canadiennes à l’occasion du 150e anniversaire de la Confédération

Since you became an independent country in 1966, you have continued to flourish and grow into a strong and confident nation.
