Miliband: The Queen is revered wherever she goes
The leader of the opposition, paying tribute to the Queen for her Diamond Jubilee:
"We have learnt so much more about Her Majesty: selfless, tireless in duty, unflinching in service, unerring in her commitment to the people of Britain, stoical in the face of personal loss, and proud, as the Prime Minister said, of the extraordinary reach of the monarchy and its values to the Commonwealth.
"With Prince Philip at her side, she has shown the most extraordinary dedication to duty.
"When we tell each other her remarkable story, we speak, too, of the timeless characteristics of our country and all the people who have served us.

"Whatever she has been confronted with, Her Majesty the Queen has responded with genuine spirit. That spirit means that the Queen is received with reverence, respect and genuine affection wherever she travels in the world. In respect for that spirit, we all come together to celebrate in this, the year of her diamond jubilee."
