King Charles III says he feels 'profound sorrow' over the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and vows to carry on her 'lifelong service' to the nation.
He ended on a personal note, with another message to the late Queen. "To my darling mama, as you begin your last great journey, I want simply to say this: Thank you."
In 1947, on her 21st birthday, she pledged in a broadcast from Cape Town to the Commonwealth to devote her life, whether it be short or long, to the service of her peoples. And, as every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humour and an unerring ability always to see the best in people.
The institutions of the State have changed in turn. But, through all changes and challenges, our nation and the wider family of Realms -- of whose talents, traditions and achievements I am so inexpressibly proud -- have prospered and flourished. Our values have remained, and must remain, constant.
