Theresa May recalls hilarious moment when she dropped CHEESE in front of the Queen 

What did you think of Theresa May's speech?

It wasn't about politics. It was about memories of a woman that the majority of people loved and respected. That was why I loved this speech.

Theresa's speech was spot on. To bring in the humour and personal experiences was a great touch and lifted the mood.

As someone who doesn't follow your politics and is simply an outsider looking in, I thought her speech was warm, respectful, loving, and full of humanity and humility. If nothing else, it was a beautifully written speech and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

“May she rest in peace and rise in glory”…I have never heard this said before but love it. RIP Your Majesty

She was the only one who mentioned the household staff who served for so long and had great affection for her Majesty and must be grieving too. Well done, Theresa. By the way, the cheese story was my favourite of the day.

"May she rest in peace and rise in glory." Beautiful heart-felt words.

That was a very heartwarming speech and talks a lot about how extraordinary the Queen was not because she was The Queen but how great of a person she was.

I was never a fan of Theresa when she was in power but her speech was spot on. Well done 👏

Got to respect Theresa May stayed as an MP and didn't run off after being Prime Minister like the rest of them.

Well done Theresa May. Excellent speech in remembering her very essence as woman and Queen.

Theresa May's BEST ever oratory and she nailed the respect so many had for the Queen , nobody quite like her and never again will there be another as vaulted , remarkable indeed

What a great speech. This speech was tasteful, interesting and well-thought-out. I found it gave an endearing account of the late Queen and portrayed a fun, kind and thoughtful Queen who had such people skills many of us could only dream of having. R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth II.

She remembers most parts of her speech, not reading the script but speaking from her very deep heart.

A speech that was respectful, and also had humor. Well Done Theresa May

Honesty, it is an excellent speech. The queen would be happy to be remembered like this. Rest in peace, your majesty.

"she knew many of the World Leaders, in some cases she had known their fathers" - incredible and powerful

Who would have thought that Theresa May could deliver an amusing anecdote with the timing of a seasoned comedian? A lovely tribute.

What a wonderful, humorous speech. The best recollections of her majesty I've heard all day. Warm, incredibly witty and really from the heart. Well done Theresa May. You captured the essence of the woman , not just a queen.

The best tribute speech I’ve heard yet. Tributes, especially so close to the person’s death, don’t have to be nothing but sorrowful, somber words. This was an excellent tribute because it showed her love and respect for the queen, but in a way that lifts people’s spirits. We don’t need to hear how many years she served, how many countries she’d been to, what her shoe size was, etc. from every tribute. The news already repeats all of that. This was the kind of tribute that gives you a little bit more insight into the person, not the title, and leaves you feeling even more love and respect for her majesty than you already had. Now that was a tribute done right.

Out of all the tremendous tributes to her majesty that I’ve heard thus far. Theresa May’s tribute had made me smile, laugh & even shed a tear 😢 thank you for you’re beautiful words Theresa ❤ RIP ma’am together again👸

I enjoyed Theresa May's speech . Respectful and lighthearted. All former Prime ministers must be grieving and am sorry for their loss.

That cheese story was pure comedy gold. The delivery couldn't be better.

“She gave an example to us all - of faith, of service, of duty, of dignity, of decency. She was remarkable, and I doubt we will ever see her like again. May she Rest In Peace- and rise in glory.” #QueenElizabeth

I never meet the Queen and I am not even British, but I don’t know why, I really enjoyed through out the time to see her appearances on the television broadcasts and on the internet. And I had a bit of a shock when I heard she died. I believe that in spite of her work that she did like a Queen, in which many approve or disapprove, she was likeable by the world in a way that now people will miss her.

What an awkward experience. Never before seen Theresa May so emotionally at ease and composed. What a heartfelt eulogy.

sorry for your loss people of the uk. as a commonwealth citizen of new zealand who is indigenous i want you all to know the tireless work she did over her reign to be a beacon of unity between the different cultures in the commonwealth. in my country new zealand she did a lot to bring a general unity among our nation between maori and pakeha. moe mai e rangatira. rest in gods loving grace queen elizabeth the ii.

Such a perfect speech. It encapsulates everything the Queen was. Majesty mixed with humility & humour, wrapped up with profound wisdom.

I thought her speech was amazing! Her words were deeply honoring of the Queen, even her humor. Well spoken.

To be honest, when you know a group of politicians spent a day arguing on that same topic in that same room, all quietly listening to someone talk about a topic, you can tell how much they all loved the queen. I do too. I don't really know her very well, but one thing for sure is that we will never get to see her calming smile ever again. May you sleep in peace, Your Majesty.

Brilliant speech. Well done Mrs May.

Whatever you think of her politics, this was a great speech. It really came from the heart.

What a sincere, humorous and heartfelt speech.

Politics aside, this is a bloody great speech and well delivered.

This was perfection. What a tribute. Very well put Mrs May 👏

That was a beautiful, loving, and fitting tribute to Her Majesty The Queen, who indeed was a treasure to the entire world. She shall be sorely missed, but her legend will live on. May she rest peacefully!

Great to see MPs laughing together and in unison. Pity they couldn't transfer that spirit into their everyday work.

Theresa May has a wicked sense of humour. Loved her speech.

If there is one positive from our beloved Queen's death, it's the humanization of stuffies in Government. Loved Theresa May's speech. Politicians should speak from the heart more often.

Beautiful speech, funny, wit, loving, and heartfelt. Best memorial speech i have seen for the queen. Well done theresa may.

You don't try to "5 second rule" The Queen! It was a very nice, heartfelt speech.

It's wonderful to hear how Queen Elizabeth enjoyed visiting Canada most of all and visited here most often. Ms. May's story brings home the Queen's everyday humanity, kindness, and humour. RIP.

Lovely tribute--you can tell she genuinely cared for the queen.

This woman’s comic timing ⏱ is impeccable! She’s very witty and funny 😆

What a speech totally different from any perception you may have had of her prior to the speech. the cheese story was epic!

I think this was the best speech of Theresa May's career. Very well thought out and given and you could see the emotion and sorrow in her face too.

Fantastic remembrance of the Queen, her devotion to duty, and her humanity.

That had to be the very best speech I've ever heard honoring and reflecting upon QEII. "May she rest in peace, and rise in Glory.". Very moving. RIP Your Majesty!

Theresa has an incredible dry sense of humour perfectly timed to lift the spirits 👏

She gave one of the best speeches.

What a beautiful speech. I am an American, but I think the vast majority of us loved the Queen. She was such a mixture of grace, warmth and humor that her presence in the world made it such a better place.

She's a funny one May. This is a great speech from someone whose personal touch has been so criticised. Watching these speeches I realise there is real talent there that does not translate into political accomplishment.

Theresa May has found her voice, and is finally at ease in her own skin. Quite a transformation.

Really liked Theresa May's speech very heartwarming and genuine!

The cheese story (at a Balmoral picnic) starts at 6:25. This was an excellent speech, respectful, touching, humorous and even entertaining. Her speech illustrates how deft she is at communication and politicsn as you quickly find yourself liking her and wanting to hear more from her.

What a lovely speech. It was heartwarming and took away a bit of the sadness of these days. Something the queen would certainly have liked. Thank you.

Fabulous speech, full of humour and great comedic timing!! What wonderful memories she has and so lovely for her to share them. I think Mrs May was especially fond of our treasure of a Queen!

Love this. When someone is winning the room and absolutely smashes it. Well done Mrs May at a difficult and emotional time ❤️

This by far is the best speech about the Queen that I’ve listened to in the wake of her passing. Rest In Peace Your Majesty.

Theresa May's speech provides another window into everything that was her Majesty the Queen. A small part of our mourning is in knowing we are not permanent, as we naively thought the Queen was.

Oh that was a lovely speech! I’m so glad I watched it. The current PM’s speech had some nice words, but she forgot to inform her face and it left me feeling cold. This one warmed my heart. Thank you Mrs May.

A brilliant speech by Theresa May. Warm, humorous and from the heart. Well done!

7:16 "and the cheese remain on the table" Lol

Beautiful speech and I love the atmosphere in the room. I like that they can laugh together even if they may disagree on several issues. I like how they do affirmation. 👏🏼👏🏼

Beautiful tribute.. love her. I'm autistic and I think she is too. She displays so many traits. It's a shame people give her an hard time..

Brilliant storyteller w/ excellent comedic timing! Wonderful tribute! Personal & respectful.

A beautiful heart-warming speech.

"Dignity and Decency" the two words that the Queen has embodied, and if just one person is capable to pay what it costs in terms of behaviour, a whole life, it's such an energy for millions of others. Queen Elisabeth II had a smile to which in the whole world, somebody smiled in return.

Fantastic speech. Thank you Theresa May. “May she rest in peace and rise in Glory.” Amen 🙏🏽

May's speech was a fitting tribute to her Majesty. There will never be another like Queen Elizabeth and that makes me very sad. I'm hoping everyone will follow her lead because it was perfect. She set a high bar and did it with compassion grace and always humor. I'll miss her smile her laugh and especially that twinkle in her eyes. Queen Elizabeth was and is a treasure beyond compare and always will be. RIP

You can say what you like about Theresa May and her views and politics, her oration to her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was simply perfect. The anedote about the cheese was funny, yet profound...RIP, Your Majesty. Thank you, Theresa

"I had a split second decision to make." 😂😂😂

An amazing speech…full of warmth and wit….just how the queen would have liked it 😊

Wonderful heartwarming words. To chuckle, laugh aloud and bring a tear to my eye. A little emotion from A to Z.

Even after 2 months since Her Majesty's death,Theresa May's words still bring tears to my eyes

As an American, I find monarchies hard to swallow. As a gentleman, I find the late Queen Elizabeth II one of the finest public servants that has ever lived on Earth.

What a lovely tribute to the Queen! It captured her essence so well. Well done, Theresa May.

Beautiful! Theresa May gave a wonderful speech about Queen Elizabeth. Showed the humanity of Her Majesty🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

That was fantastic. Lovely tribute.

Well said Theresa, we will always miss her. Love from Uganda...

I absolutely LOVE Theresa May's speech! So truthful, warm and funny! Theresa is such a bright woman, and I truly enjoyed listening to her speak of the Queen. A beautiful tribute to Queen Elizabeth!

5:50 The story about Theresa’s husband’s “dream” 🤣 6:18 The cheese story 🧀

American here, I thought it was a lovely speech. I didn't know the Queen but from what I saw of her she was exactly how Mrs. May described her. My heartfelt condolences to the people of Great Britain and around the world. We truly will never see the likes of her again. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🌎

That is bloody hilarious. I love that she brought up a happy memory to sweeten the pain.

The Queen's death is a stark reminder for all of us, that life is not how long or short you lived, it is not about how poor or privileged you were, it is not about how successful you were in your career or studies, how many followers you had on social media, it is all about how you made others in your life feel. No one remembers you for your net worth or your academic degrees. People will always remember you fondly if you have made them feel cared, loved and special even in small ways. Life is as simple as that.

Excellent speech, i enjoyed her incredible dry sense of humour, and the fact that she hardly looked into those papers, shows her true feelings in every word she says, May the Queen Rest In Peace

I love the Queen and Theresa May for the story of the cheese.

What a sweet tribute. She evoked love, laughter and tears. Beautiful words.

Truly Heartfelt, and lovely speech. Full of Sincerity, Smiles, and Laughs. May Her Majesty, The Queen Rest in Perfect Peace.

What an incredible tribute to our late queen. Thanks you Mrs May.

I surprised myself by weeping like a child when the Queen died. I sat there watching the TV and the tears streamed down my face. Not sure why - I'm not British, have never had the pleasure of traveling to the British Isles and don't pay a lot of attention to the politics of that nation. But I felt heartbroken and bereft because she was no longer on this earth. As Theresa said - may she rest in peace and rise in glory.

I so loved watching this video!! Beautifully well written. I have not laughed this hard in a long time! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 💖💖

Amazing heartfelt comedic speech, you did our queen proud, thank you theresa ❤

Theresa May has come into her own and her comic timing brilliant!

I could imagine the glimmer in the Queen's eye when she saw someone eating that cheese half an hour later.

'may she rest in peace and rise in glory', absolutely. What a wonderful sentiment

Amazing speech!Theresa here seems at ease and made a remarkable speech in honor of the Queen...RIP to our Queen🙏🏽❤️✝️

Lovely words, spoken genuinely from the heart by Mrs May

An amazing speech, a wonderful tribute. Theresa is also a great orator who has perfect comedy timing as well.

What a wonderful tribute by Theresa May ❤.
