In Remembering The Appalling Suffering Of War

Experience Shows That Great Enterprises Seldom End With A Tidy And Satisfactory Flourish. Together, We Are Doing Our Best To Re-establish Peace And Civil Order In The Gulf Region, And To Help Those Members Of Civil And Ethnic Minorities Who Continue To Suffer Through No Fault Of Their Own. If We Succeed, Our Military Success Will Have Achieved Its True Objective.

Therefore I Am Sure That This, My Coronation, Is Not The Symbol Of A Power And A Splendour That Are Gone But A Declaration Of Our Hopes For The Future, And For The Years I May, By God's Grace And Mercy, Be Given To Reign And Serve You As Your Queen.

My Husband Has Quite Simply Been My Strength And Stay All These Years, And I Owe Him A Debt Greater Than He Would Ever Claim.
