"We will meet again" Queen Elizabeth concluded her extraordinary and rare sermon on the coronavirus to the British people, a phrase that brings to mind all of Britain the most popular song by Vera Lynn since World War II, a song that refers to stoicism for which the British boast.
"The best days will come again. We will see our friends again, we will see our families again", Said the 93-year-old monarch, urging her compatriots to stay at home to defeat the pandemic.
"Deep down we know this is the right thing to do", he noted, assuring that "If we stay united and determined we will overcome the disease".
He noted that the present challenge is different, as it unites all nations in the effort to heal, with science and instinctive compassion.
Complete: "We will succeed and success will belong to each of us."
In her inspiring message she also stressed: "Pride of who we are is not part of our past, it determines our present and our future."
During the sermon, a photograph of her first message to the British people was shown, along with her sister Margaret, during the war in 1940, also from Windsor Castle, where the sermon about the coronavirus was filmed a few days ago.
Queen Elizabeth also said, among other things, that she hoped this coronavirus crisis would show that the current generation of Britons is "As strong as any other".
Recognize that this is an increasingly difficult time in the history of the nation, "With mourning for some, with financial difficulties for many and with huge challenges in everyone's daily life."
He wished the citizens to feel proud at the end of this adventure for the self-discipline, calm calm determination and camaraderie they showed.
He made a special mention of the employees in the national NHS health system and those who work in critical positions at the moment, assuring them on behalf of the nation that their contribution is properly appreciated.
It was only the fifth extraordinary proclamation of the Queen in the 68 years of her reign, with the previous ones taking place during the Gulf War in 1991, after the death of Princess Diana in 1997, after the death of the Queen Mother in 2002 and in Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
