Nigel Evans – 2022 Tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II

The tribute made by Nigel Evans, the Deputy Speaker, in the House of Commons on 10 September 2022.

I want to put on the record my appreciation and that of the people of Ribble Valley for the Queen. She had a strong relationship with Ribble Valley. I met her there and was honoured to meet her here in London as well. It was rumoured by a lady-in-waiting that if ever Her Majesty retired, she would want to retire into the Ribble Valley, but we all know she never intended to retire, because hers was a lifetime of service for which we are incredibly grateful. We will miss her. God save the King.
