On Sunday, Queen Elizabeth II delivered a televised address to the British people. It was noted to be a "rare" and "special" address as this served to be the only fifth one she gave in almost seven decades of her reign.
As per the reports, over 24 million individuals witnessed and watched the Queen on that day. It has appeared that everyone was moved with her statements not only because of the appreciation that she gave toward the healthcare workers across the UK and the globe but, it was also because she shared some of her "wartime experiences," which she seemingly compared to what the country and the rest of the world have been facing today.
According to The Sun UK, the "inspiring" messages shared by Queen Elizabeth II will be displayed in London's iconic Piccadilly Circus, specifically in the Piccadilly Lights. This will be the first time that the digital screen has directly quoted the Monarch since its emergence to popularity in 1908.
As added by the reports, some of the "extracts" from the Queen's address will be displayed for the next ten days. The schedule will be every 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., local time, until April 19.
Some of the inspiring and "hopeful" messages that will be displayed include the famous "better days will return" and her "special praise" for the NHS workers and the rest of the "front line staff." She, reportedly, said that she wants to thank them for their dedication to service amid the COVID-19 crisis in the country.
In a report released by Newsweek, it was said that Queen Elizabeth II's message on Sunday was mainly "aimed" to encourage the public to stay at home until the pandemic eases. Therefore, there might be only a few individuals who would see the "broadcast" and display on the Piccadilly Circus.
Even so, the commercial media manager at Landsec, Derek Manns, reportedly, asserted that the institution is "proud" that the Queen's message of support will be shared on Piccadilly Lights. He then said that they "hope" this will inspire and provide light for the public, especially the "Londoners" as everyone continues to fight against the crisis.
In the United Kingdom, London has had the highest number of confirmed cases of COVID-19. The total cases across the country are now up to 60,000 with over 7,000 deaths.
As for the British Royal Family, all of the senior members, including Queen Elizabeth II, have been observing social distancing as they continue their respective works.
