That was a masterclass in both speech writing and speech delivery. Really beautiful!
Chapeau sir, the Queen would have been deeply touched by your country’s sentiments.

As an Expat Englishman living in Edmonton Canada I cant believe a French President can deliver the best tribute FAR AND ABOVE any tribute coming out of her Mother Country

Wonderful tribute from President Macron. Watching it now nine months after the event, I still choked at "To you, she was your Queen. To us, she was the Queen.' Merci beaucoup.
