I usually can’t stand Blackford, but this was an utterly beautiful speech, truly heartfelt

I am not a fan of the SNP but Ian Blackford bless him gave one of the best tributes and speeches for HM Queen that I have heard. Well done that man. A very moving speech indeed.

From 🇮🇪 IRELAND, I wish to extend my sincerest condolences and sympathy to all members of the Royal Family and to the 🇬🇧 British people at this sad time on the recent passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Despite turbulent past histories, Irish people held Queen Elizabeth with deep affectionate regard and respect. King Charles will be a wonderful Monarch and our best wishes for a long and happy reign are sent from your neighbors and IRISH friends today from across the pond.

Not a big SNP fan. But they have conducted themselves in a classy way over this sad event.

Absolutely beautiful, heartfelt, genuine and poignant tribute. Most definitely will unify our country and all around the world, at such a time as this for our late Queen Elizabeth II. ❤️🌺💙💗

I normally cannot stand Blackford.
His speech today however was utterly brilliant - outstanding even - wonderful that he gave thoughts to Liz Truss having this on her plate just 2 days in….

I am a firm opponent to Scottish Independence, I love the United Kingdom warts and all. I truly hate the SNP. I am blocked by Ian Blackford on Twitter for ideological reasons.

However, this was a beautiful and well thought out address.

I think Ian Blackford is one of the great parliamentarians of his time.

For once IB has made a speech we are happy to listen to. Why can't he be like that all the time and talk sense? Government would work better with more humility and respect for others.

I really, really, really like Ian Blackford style in the house of commons. He seems such a wise man who speaks from the heart. In this tribute you can see that. Well done and as you say God save the King.

How can God bless the King if He want the House of King David to be on the throne and also the Stone of Destiny has declared someone else as the Monarch in 2015..

Reunited with Prince Philip? Really? Didn’t realise we were in 1600s still. Would Prince Philip need to be with the queen even after death? He may want to be with someone else if he’s in heaven, no?

[mmmbilly]

The longest he’s spoken without having to stop for a Greggs, he should try it more often.

[tylerbailey]

This is the best day ever. Royal fans' tears are yummy :)

[roberdink]

What a hypocrite! If he really believed in independence he wouldn't be paying tribute to the English Queen.
