While paying tribute to his 'mummy', he said: "On behalf of us all, I wanted to pay my own tribute to your lifetime of selfless service
"Your family now spans four generations. You are our Head of State. And you are also our mother.
"Your “strength and stay” is much missed this evening but I am sure he is here in spirit…My Papa would have enjoyed the show and joined us wholeheartedly in celebrating all you continue to do for your country and your people."
