01:13
thank you very much for joining me  today on this special live stream

01:17
something very different a few days  ago we planned to do a live stream
4
77840
5920
01:23
talking about a particular  subject we had to scrap that
5
83760
4480
01:28
because of course three days ago here in the uk
6
88240
2880
01:31
a lot of people felt shocked surprised  saddened by the news of the death  
7
91120
6240
01:38
of the queen of england queen elizabeth ii
8
98080
3120
01:41
who had been well the queen of this country  the leader of this country the monarch
9
101920
6240
01:48
there are many ways of describing her
10
108800
2240
01:51
for 70 years she was a part of everyone's life  
11
111920
4240
01:56
i know from my own point of view from  my own experience she was always there
12
116160
5840
02:02
and i suppose a word that many  people used is the word constant
13
122000
5440
02:07
something that's always  with you so for many people
14
127440
3440
02:10
even if they are not royalists or monarchists
15
130880
3680
02:14
and i have to say i am not a  big monarchist or a royalist
16
134560
4800
02:19
however i do find the stability that  is given by having a king or queen
17
139920
6400
02:27
gives some sort of stability
18
147360
2080
02:29
and i suppose reassurance  so so imagine three days ago
19
149440
5520
02:35
the shock when the queen sadly passed away
20
155520
4400
02:39
and now we are in a state of something  called morning morning you mourn someone
21
159920
8320
02:49
and i suppose i should mention now that  yesterday we we lost a member of our own family
22
169200
9760
03:00
and i suppose i should say straight away
23
180320
4400
03:04
before i get too upset that we did  lose a member of our family yesterday
24
184720
4960
03:10
sadly mr steve's mother  passed away yesterday morning
25
190240
4640
03:15
and well i don't think i need to tell you that  we are all in a state of shock at the moment
26
195600
6240
03:23
and mr steve won't be here
27
203040
1840
03:24
steve of course a regular contributor he  is the person who is always by my side
28
204880
8080
03:33
and yesterday we received the news in  the early hours of yesterday morning
29
213520
5520
03:39
that sadly mr steve's mother  had passed away at the age of 91
30
219040
5680
03:45
so i i don't need to tell you that  we are feeling a little bit unhappy
31
225600
6720
03:52
but i had to come here today to let you know
32
232320
2640
03:54
because i know many of you arrange your day
33
234960
4240
03:59
your sunday around my live streams
34
239200
3200
04:02
so i thought it was only  fair to come on here today
35
242400
4000
04:06
and let you know what was happening  the reason why i wasn't here
36
246400
5280
04:12
or should i say the reason why my live  stream is not the same as it normally is
37
252560
4640
04:18
my first thought was to cancel today's  live stream i wasn't going to be here
38
258080
5360
04:24
we weren't going to do anything
39
264160
1760
04:25
but from my own point of view it didn't feel right
40
265920
4000
04:29
it only felt fair to let you know  so this is a very short message
41
269920
6240
04:36
a very short live stream on top  of everything that's happened  
42
276160
4960
04:41
already here over the past three days
43
281120
2720
04:43
and i would imagine that many  people who don't live in the uk
44
283840
4880
04:48
or even have any experience with uk culture  must find all of this rather strange
45
288720
7120
04:56
people feeling shocked and surprised  at the passing of the queen
46
296480
6640
05:03
and also the feeling of  sadness that everyone is having
47
303120
6960
05:10
thank you very much for watching
48
310080
2080
05:13
