He emphasises that through extraordinary times such as World War II and significant cultural shifts, Her Majesty has remained a constant strength. As Head of State, she has brought the monarchy closer to the people while maintaining its dignity, evolving it into a modern institution. David Cameron highlights her diplomatic achievements, including state visits that have fostered international relations. He also acknowledges her family’s support throughout her reign.

Today, we are talking about a highly respected individual who is 90. Her Majesty has served this country with a clear sense of public service and duty. She became Queen at just 25 and her reign spans nearly 64 years. In that time, our country has become better and more civilised; we have enacted equality legislation, ended colonialism, created the NHS, welfare state, and Open University. Her Majesty has been a defender of the Commonwealth, visiting every member nation, including her historic visit to Ireland in 2011 where she spoke in Irish at the reception held for her.

I associate myself with the tribute paid by the Prime Minister and congratulate Her Majesty on this milestone. The Queen embodies all our country’s best qualities, providing unparalleled experience and knowledge of government and events worldwide. She has displayed judgment of the first order, great tolerance, and absolute neutrality. Throughout her reign, she has provided a firm hand on the tiller through tumultuous changes. The Queen is a source of powerful influence for this country throughout the world and the most important public figure in the world today.

It is an honour to co-sponsor today’s motion with the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition, and to follow the right hon. Member for Mid Sussex who spoke so eloquently. The appreciation of Her Majesty by the people of Scotland is enduring due to her lifetime connection and commitment to the country. She has served as Head of State to a remarkable 32 independent countries during her reign and maintains a special relationship with Scotland through regular visits, including planting a cherry tree at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh after becoming Queen. Her Majesty's presence at significant events like the re-opening of the Scottish Parliament and the Glasgow Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony highlights her dedication. She is often seen enjoying private time at Balmoral Castle, where she spends her summer breaks, participating in local activities such as the Braemar Gathering. Her love for Scotland extends to her fondness for the Hebrides and the Achamore Gardens visit on Gigha island. The Queen's connections with Scottish companies like Walkers of Aberlour and Baxters of Fochabers are highly valued, and she is known to be an accomplished speaker of Doric. We wish Her Majesty, the Duke of Edinburgh, and her family well for many more years of outstanding public service.

I celebrate today as a momentous day to honour our longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. Being born on the same date as Her Majesty has been a source of pride throughout my life. As a modern Elizabethan, I am proud to live in her reign and admire her dedication to public service, exemplified by her ceaseless work for the welfare of people across the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries. She is also an inspiring role model for women worldwide striving for leadership roles. Her ability to draw nations together for mutual support showcases her gentle yet powerful advocacy. Like John Milton’s admiration for Shakespeare, I believe that Queen Elizabeth II has built a lasting monument through her unwavering commitment to duty.

Today is not about the Elizabeth on our coins but about Her Majesty the Queen in our hearts. Turning 90 is a marvellous signpost, and I recall celebrating King George V’s silver jubilee while recovering from tonsil removal at age five. Over generations, the royal family has faced challenges, yet Her Majesty's dedication to service has sustained and increased the monarchy's potency. She has united the nation in ways never seen before, making people feel part of a national family through her personal presence and interactions. This celebration is not just about recognising her position but celebrating the person who brings joy and unity among us.

Two memorable occasions stand out: Queen Elizabeth II visiting Durrington High School in 1999 and Drapers Academy in Harold Hill on 26 October 2012. She provides a focus for voluntary, civil, and military service. My friend's police constable warrant was equal to chief constables' appointments, symbolizing unity under the monarchy. During World Wars I and II, changing Prime Ministers without national breakdowns exemplifies the value of accepted royal leadership. The Queen’s example helps lead through challenging times while providing pleasure to those serving others dutifully.

We gather today not only to rejoice in the Queen having lived a long and glorious life, but to celebrate the reign that encompasses so much of it as well as the lives of almost everyone over whom she rules today. We must remember that the Queen was not born to this role... In deserved and romantic fashion, the Queen saw a dashing young hero enter her life after the war... For that and so much more, we from Northern Ireland are immensely grateful.

I am delighted to join my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister in saluting Her Majesty’s extraordinary, dedicated service to the nation and to the Commonwealth... It is she they serve, and that bond between the sovereign and the men and women of the armed forces is a very special one, not least because in her is personified the ideal of service and duty... We owe Her Majesty a great debt of gratitude.

In the extremely unlikely event that the hon. Gentleman is chastised, he can always advise the Whip to sample the joys of riparian entertainments—it is something I often did myself in years past.

I was first presented to Her Majesty in 2003... When I expressed my anxiety at this experience a short time later to the then head of our armed forces, Sir Mike Jackson, he said, “Jim, you shouldn’t have worried.” I said, “Shouldn’t I, Mike?” and he said, “No, if anything had happened to Her Majesty, we would just have shot you.”... When I was being driven down in the Government car to Windsor castle, on a beautiful, sunny Easter Monday, I wondered, “How many people does Her Majesty entertain to lunch on an Easter Monday?” There were six of us: her private secretary, three equerries, me and Her Majesty. I was totally unprepared.
