Queen Elizabeth dies: Boris Johnson makes Parliament laugh with speech remembering Her Majesty 

I never thought I would say it...but Boris gave the most heartfelt and warming speech that he has ever given.

“Because she had always been there and we thought she could be eternal. “ that’s exactly how I felt. Heartwarming speech Boris👍🏻

I’m not a boris Johnson fan but this speech is 100 times better than what Liz Truss conjured up. A proper, dignified speech and memoir

From Ireland. Wow that must be his best speech ever. Well done Boris. Deepest sympathy to the Royal family and UK on the death of your beloved Queen. Lord have mercy on her beautiful Soul. 🙏☘️

Got to give credit where it is due. That was a great speech, one the Queen would have smiled at.

That was a freaking GREAT Tribute to Queen Elizabeth.

This speech is absolutely magnificent. A brilliant tribute to Her Majesty.

Am I the only one who think that this is the best speech ever come out from Boris Johnson's mouth? This is one of the best tributes to Queen Elizabeth II. Can feel the sincerity and I believe this speech comes from Boris Johnson's heart.

This time Boris got it right. It was a wonderful and heartfelt speech. He said what many of us feel and said it with great sincerity. Well done and thank you.

Didn't expect Boris' speech to be so heartfelt, full of admiration and thankfulness and just overall incredibly lovely! Well done, BoJo.

Boris said it all. Simple and plain. Love from Portugal ❤🌺

Pure class, Boris. Eloquent and sincere. All my respect. Thank you for speaking for so many of us.

Well done to Boris Johnson for putting into words what most of us feel but cannot express.

Once in a great while, Boris says just the right thing; this tribute to the Queen is right on target.

This beautifully delivered speech will be remembered for years to come.

When Boris speaks in this way, he is so compelling. He has chosen his words so poignantly and so well. This is just how I feel and even though I know she is gone, I can't quite believe she is really gone forever.

Pound-for-pound, when he's not being conniving, he's one of the best communicators going. Great tribute.

I cannot believe Boris Johnson made me weep in the most exquisitely heartfelt way possible. Perfectly executed speech, genuine to its core, and worthy of a QUEEN,S TRIBUTE❣️

RIP to the Queen of Canada. She was our Queen for almost half of our 153 year old nations' history. And we are immensely proud to have her as our sovereign and head of state. Long lived the Queen. Dieu Sauve le Roi!

Perhaps if he'd spent the last 3 years being so coherent and well spoken he might still be in office. A lovely and touching speech. (Probably the first compliment that man has ever had from me)

What a beautiful heartfelt speech, credit where credits due RIP Queen Elizabeth II

A lovely speech ... thank you Boris. I'm sure that the Queen smiled down from heaven.

I am no fan of Mr Johnson but he deserves all the praise for this fine speech. Elizabeth the Great indeed.

That was the utmost sincere, moving tribute I have read. Your Queen was respected and loved around the world. Sincere sympathy to you all

What a fantastic speech and tribute. This is the statesman we wanted to see, and clearly the finest tribute I’ve yet heard.

One minute in and best word for word tribute I've heard yet . Respect to you sir and rip 🙏 queen of humanity 💎

AMAZING TRIBUTE TO QUEEN ELISABETH THE GREAT, THE WHOLE WORLD WE MISS HER DEARLY. ❤❤❤❤❤

I’m sure she enjoyed that speech, very much, from above. One for the history books, as they say. ❤️

I have never heard Boris Johnson speak so eloquently as he did in this presentation! I was in awe! Queen Elizabeth the Great is a name that is aptly fitted for she truly was Great! The examples he listed speak for themselves.

I live in New Zealand and a 45 year old male and I couldn’t stop crying when waking up and reading the news and switching on to see the coverage. She was our head of state and an amazing woman who gave everything for her nation and the commonwealth. May her majesty Queen Elizabeth II Rest In Peace and finally rest now knowing how she has shape this world. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

Sudden unexpected emotion almost a familial loss. Exactly what I felt an Indian origin Canadian. This is a heart felt speech, much love and respect.

Great speech...had me on the verge of tears. I'm an American and I've always admired her. An example for us all.

Remarkable speech for our graceful Queen. Thank you Ma'am I miss you dearly.

I absolutely can relate to what Boris said. I am American, but i feel an overwhelming sadness at her passing. RIP Queen Elizabeth II 💙🙏

This was the tribute our country needed. Much more heartfelt and patriotic. 🇬🇧👑🇬🇧💔🖤

Fine speech.Arguably the finest speech he has ever given.

Boris certainly has a way with words; well said Boris.

Had the pleasure of meeting the Queen at a charity do once. She was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

His best ever speech. What a fine tribute.

Say what you want about Boris. That was a brilliant speech and a brilliant tribute to a wonderful women and queen she will be forever missed ❤️

Boris can deliver still, a level of oratory that we should expect from our politicians. This is what a proper parliamentary speech sounds like. Not an easy thing to get right, but Boris what ever you think of him was brilliant here.

As Dutchman, having lived 25 years in republics for work (France, Turkey & Bangladesh), I always say that the best and real democracies are the Western-European kingdoms. They are the most stable countries, with the happiest people. In the Netherlands, more than 78% of people are satisfied with the level of democracy (2019). And a comparable number of people is in favour of the monarchy. Who have the highest approval rates, that no president will ever reach, as they are political figures ? The European kings and queens. Having a prime minister with above her or him a head of state that can really be the seen as the embodiment and soul of a country: no republic can say, or has, the same. And it prevents us from having situations as in the USA or other republics, as France, where a president can take too much power as there is "nobody" above him anymore. But the UK has indeed been blessed with the most outstanding monarch, and yes, I too did shed a tear when I heard that H.M. Queen Elizabeth had passed away. She was a sort of "super"-queen among the monarchs.

Love him or hate him, Borris gave an amazingly sincere and heartfelt speech. 👏🏻 Rest in peace “Elizabeth The Great” and Long Live The King 🤴 🇬🇧

Not at all comparing Boris to Winston Churchill, but this speech was almost as moving as Churchill's 1952 speech upon King George's death..Well Done BoJo 👏

The best words I ever heard him speak Beautiful tribute from Boris. RIP Elizabeth The Great and i just hope you are back with your man now and have a big smile on your face again.

It’s only fitting to laugh during these kinds of moments. Because, Queen Elizabeth actually had a wonderful sense of humor, which most overlooked because of her monarchy. As an American, I have shed tears for her loss. As, it’s a very familial feeling, like losing my grandmother all over again. When in fact, my grandmother was 104 when she died only after contracting an infection after falling and breaking her hip while mowing her yard with an old manual push mower. She was as one tough woman! She was in NYC on her honeymoon when the Titanic survivors arrived.

Magnificent. Beautifully honest and heartfelt. This is Boris at his best.

Excellent Boris. Perfectly summed up her majesty

One of the finest speeches I've ever seen or heard. I'm smiling here in the States.

Wonderful tribute. I am so sad that we have all lost such an incredible woman, I have so much respect for her.

Wow. Well done Boris. I've not been a particular fan of yours, but there is no denying that was a well written and well read speech/tribute.

That was the best speech of all I have heard honoring the late Queen. In it, Johnson also called her Elizabeth the Great, which is the name given to distinguish monarchs in many countries who were considered the best, and which she deserves richly.

Brilliant words Boris 👏🏼. RIP Queen Elizabeth II

She was the epitome of class and grace and set the bar of what a lady should be. May she Rest In Peace. Jonathan Burgess, U.S.A.

Utterly brilliant and accurate to the core. I was deeply moved by his speech.

What a great speech. I chuckled and cried..

No modern politician can match Boris Johnson for a well delivered impeccable speech, tinged both with humour and sadness.

A speech that was not only wonderful but necessary for the world to be reminded of all the she had given and done for her beloved country.

Fabulous tribute to an amazing woman .Queen Elizabeth irreplaceable 💞

That was a great speech by Boris that meticulously and eloquently encapsulated the feeling of the Nation and the Commonwealth.

Superb speech and most moving too. I wonder how long it'll be before we ask him to 'come back'.

This is why I've always believed you are a great man Boris, thank you for a wonderful speech.

Even for someone who's not English, her death is unsettling. It's a really weird sensation to realise that England have no longer a queen when that's all you knew for so many years. I have no doubt that Charles III will be a great king, he learn from the best after all. All my condolences to her family & her country.

Thank you so much for delivering such a touching speech on the dedication and loyalty of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II! Her legacy will be remembered always!

That was absolutely perfect. A beautifully expressed sentiment.

Say what you will, but this man knows how to make a speech. On tone, on topic, Boris at his best.

No matter what we think of Boris, We cannot deny He has a way with words . I think He captured very well the feelings of most Brits.

That is how you deliver a tribute

Boris has his own flaws but the man's political stamina is admirable

Side note: Got to salute to the old man giving up his place for a woman at 2:18. A true British gentelman.

What a phenomenal speech from Boris. Unifying and positive - really fantastic.

Well doneBoris,this wasn’t the bumph that usually comes out your mouth! This was straight from the heart ,I applaud you for that, Thank you.

I have often not liked Boris Johnson but he nailed this. Great heartfelt and personal speech echoing how we are all feeling today. Perfectly put and a great tribute - what an incredible woman she was.

I have respect for Boris! His speech made me choke in tears. I am from Singapore and living in Hong Kong and we are part of the commonwealth and I followed the Queen my whole life!!! I forgot she is human and will perish. I thought she will live forever!

Pure Gold, Boris. Pure gold. Thank you!

Wow what a great tribute. Thank you Mr Johnson.

What a wonderful tribute from such a gifted orator, exactly what we need at a time like this. The fourteenth Prime Minister giving a speech that her first Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, would have been proud of.

Ive been feeling very emotional since Friday as a 53yo NewZealander living in Australia. To think this amazing Queen has been such a presence my whole life. A moving speech.

As an American, I have always appreciated and respected the historical role and cultural significance of Queen Elizabeth II and her family in British history. That said, Thursday was truly an auspiciously sad day for both the United Kingdom and the rest of the world, including my country, the United States of America. May G-d bless both her family and the people of Great Britain. Rest in Peace, Queen Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 - 8 September 2022). 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 "This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands, This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England ... " -William Shakespeare (1564-1616), King Richard II (1595), Act II, Scene I

Brilliant, heartfelt speech, for the Queen, R.I.P and be with your beloved Phillip

Despite what we may all think of Boris Johnson, you cannot deny, this was A very heartfelt speech honouring her majesty.

As a doctor from Pakistan please accept my condolence. She was so wise in advise and also calm and in compusure. She will remain a role model for many generations to come regardless of the demographic region, she was icon, an institution, and symbol of class and dignity. No matter what happened, she steadfast to her promise she made at her coronation ceremony. She did not have the luxury to grieve her father, and took up responsibilities right after. She is eternal and live in the hearts of people and generations to come. Mr.Boris gave a very heartfelt speech .🙏🇵🇰🇦🇺

I have often liked Boris Johnson, but just as often asked myself why? But this eulogy to the Queen is absolutely astounding . Thank you very much sir. Much appreciated. 👌🇬🇧🇨🇦

Brilliant Boris, it is so hard to explain why we are feeling so sad and you have done it 💕

This is such a beautiful speech with careful thoughts and extraordinary details that only must have come by pouring it from the heart. I’m no BoJo fan, but this, this is a compilation of very beautiful words.

I was surprised that it upset me so much. I cried and cried. I live in the US, never really followed the Royal family so it surprised me how sad I am at her passing 🙏😭 RIP in peace Queen Elizabeth II-

Our beloved Queen. We love you ever. Wonderful human being. #From_Bangladesh.

I'm not a fan of Boris Johnson but what a lovely speech he gave honouring the queen who was without a doubt the greatest monarch this country ever had

That’s the best speech he has every done a great tribute to the queen who will be dearly missed

Beautiful speech Borris well done 👏 👑 👸 ❤

Boris... such a smart person & so gentle human soul...!!! Bravo...!!! Thank you for your Perfect speech...!!! 💯👍👍👏👏👏🇬🇧

I am not a BJ fan however that was a speech worthy of our Dear Queen Elizabeth. R.I.P.

Ex-Priministor Boris Johnson gave an excellent speech of remembering the Queen 👸 and her extraordinary service 👏

His speech was honest, sincere and from heart.

This is a beautiful speech!! I think you speak for many here Mr Johnson. Thank you.

Well Done Boris!! Very nice and clearly spoken.. 👍🇬🇧

A wonderful speech, and yes, I also felt her loss, and still feel it. She went so graceful and dutiful as she was during her entire life. Doing her duties, not much noise around her own person, nor her physical struggles, a protocol put in place, and now she's gone to meet her husband again. An epoc, a time, an era or several ones, has just left us with her passing. Rip Queen Elizabeth 👸

The state of Ohio, USA, where I call home, put their flags at half mast for the Queen. A symbol of mourning here in America. I found myself simultaneously saluting that flag and praying for British and the people of the Commonwealth because a great adventure has ended in the death of Queen Elizabeth, and a new unknown adventure has begun with the passing of the torch. The world is watching you Great Britain, hold your heads up high even as the tears fall. The future is coming and we need you to be one of the great powers in that future.

I cried & I still cry at her majesty's passing. Rest in peace her majesty

Great speech, RIP Queen Elizabeth II, you will be missed deeply by all of us
