“The sense of service, intellectual curiosity and capacity to squeeze The pleasure of any situation is all irresistible, “he said in the broadcast of his traditional pre-recording celebration, paying tribute to” I am my favorite “.
“Wisting the naughty broadcast was as bright in the end like when I first looked at him,” he said.
The Queen said she knew Philip wanted her family to enjoy Christmas, and there would be excitement for them despite the absence of “familiar laugh”.
He delivered his speech who was sitting at a table that was standing in a photo of himself and Philip, stood on his arm and smiled with each other.
The photo was taken in 2007, when the couple marked their diamond wedding anniversary.
For his broadcast, the Queen wore a sapphire brooch she was wearing on honeymoon in 1947 and for diamond wedding portraits.
Photos of him and Philip at various stages of their lives appeared on the screen when he spoke.
Elizabeth spent Christmas at Windsor Castle, West London, for the second year running, a break from the royal tradition caused by Pandemic Covid-19.
