Watch in full: Former prime minister Boris Johnson pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in Commons

Watch in full as Boris Johnson pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in the House of Commons.

[hem]

I've watched and read some incredible tributes, but Boris said it best with 'She seemed so timeless and so wonderful that I am afraid we had come to believe, like children, that she would just go on and on.' That really hit home

A beautifully written and a world class speech, to our deeply missed Queen Elizabeth II. R.I.P

Excellent speech by Boris. Outstanding. We really have seen our House of Commons at its best today. I'm more emotional than I expected to be but very proud of what I have seen and heard and experienced.

I’m far from his biggest fan but my word he knows how to pen a tribute.

[tobymcelhinney]

I may not agree with his politics but he has given a touching tribute to Queen Elizabeth the Great.

A remarkable speech for a remarkable Queen. Condolences to the Commonwealth, from Pennsylvania.

One of my favourite speeches. Very touching mr Johnson.

[boohoo]

I would have never thought I would be watching a speech by Boris more than once, yet here I am watching it for the fourth time and it just gets me emotionally, rest in peace our Queen ❤️

[joshevans]

That was an excellent speech! Well done Boris

[scotcraftdiva]

The statement not long after the Queen passed from Boris was I thought very touching but again this tribute was absolutely wonderful. Irrespective of our views on individuals and their policies credit where credit is due, this was a magnificent speech.

[sleati]

Moved to tears watching this tribute. For all his bafoonery and self-indulgence, this speech is one of his finest hours.

Credit where due, that was a great speech. Just great. He hit a lot of nails right on the head.

[rosierosie]

Ohh, that was beautiful, Boris. I smiled, I laughed, I nodded and I cried because it is like our beloved Nan has died, who used the one bar fire and old Tupperware, wandered around in sensible shoes and tartan skirt and loved us all.

[DonHornsby]

What a masterful speech. Well done Mr. Johnson.

[spiritualwholesale]

He may not be my cup of tea but what an incredible tribute to our wonderful Queen .
