01:20Mr. Bailiff, I am most grateful to you and to the States
01:25for the warm welcome you have extended to both my wife and myself
01:30and for the assurances of devotion, loyalty and allegiance to the Crown
01:36you have expressed on behalf of the people of Jersey.
01:42My wife and I have such happy recollections of the welcome we received
01:48when we were here last year in 2012
01:53to mark the Diamond Jubilee of my late mother.
01:57During that visit we met so many islanders
02:01and learned of the high regard and affection in which she was held
02:07and also a great deal about your beautiful and unique island.
02:13We look forward to doing so again today during our time here in St. Helier.
02:23Thank you.
