April 05, 2020 "We are in a moment that I know to be increasingly difficult for the life of our country, a moment of upheaval, which has brought pain to some, economic difficulties to many and enormous changes in everyone's life".

These are the words spoken at the beginning of his speech to the nation - the fourth in 68 years of reign - by Queen Elizabeth, who addressed the British people with a message on TV to talk about the coronavirus emergency.

"I hope everyone in the coming years will be proud of how they responded to this challenge. And those who come after us will say that the British of this generation have been stronger than any other, that the qualities of self-discipline, of courteous determination and mutual understanding still characterize this country. "
