Elizabeth gave her peoples Britain’s high creed. She said: “Parliamentary institutions with @heir free speech and the respect for the rights of minorities and the inspiration of a broad tolerance in thought and its expression—all this we conceive to be a precious part of our way of life and outlook.” Elizabeth said this message has heen sustained and invigorated over centuries by the British fam- @y of nations. She said these prin- eiples were ‘as sacred to the erown and monarchy as to its many Parliaments end peoples.” “I ask you now to cherish them— and practice them, too,” she said. “Then we can go forward together in peace, seeking justice and free- dom for all men.” She spoke of the unity in spirit and aim of Britain’s many lands and races.
