Today marks the anniversary of Elizabeth's famous Golden Speech delivered to the Members of the House of Commons in 1601. It was to be the last time that she would ever address members of Parliament.
From the speech:
"It is not my desire to live or reign longer than my life and reign shall be for your good. And though you have had, and may have, many mightier and wiser princes sitting in this seat, yet you never had, nor shall have, any that will love you better."
