The text of the proclamation, authored primarily one suspects by the Garter King of Arms (who acted as chief herald in personally issuing the proclamation from St James’s Palace), was just such a beautiful piece of English prose… all those juicy subordinate clauses.
RIP HM Queen Elizabeth II ,Thank you very much ma'am for your devoted and unwavering service of 70 years to the UK,Canada,Australia,New zealand , other realms , territories and the crown dependencies and of course the wider family of the commonwealth of nations .Your glorious memories will always be remembered with undiluted pleasure. God save the King, Long may he reign!
May she reign long over us from the heavens and bless us with wisdom knowledge, the honour of truth expressed through active education and pursuit of expressions of freedom .. as we learn and pray, elucidate each other… may she reign over her son the King of England
He's Canadian. He was the President of the University of British Columbia before joining Cambridge as VC. Either way, even as a Canadian he is a subject of the Crown.
It's a shame the population can't decide on the individual that is given this role on merit and prior accomplishment, as is the case for those that study and work at the University of Cambridge.
I'm wondering who you think is a better candidate given that the guy who got the job was literally raised from birth to do it, and has had 70+ years of training...
It's not necessarily a good thing to have an elected head of state as they will only represent those who voted for them. A monarch, in theory, is representative of everyone.
I am an American, and I solemnly assure you that living in a republic, where every figure and facet of government is mired in divisive party politics, having an elected politician as president is detrimental to the cohesion and unity of the nation. Britons should be grateful for the monarchy, and the sense of stability which it has come to represent, and the ability to have one part of government that can be a symbol of national unity divorced from party politics: citizens of republics don't have that luxury.
British people. Don’t let this tradition be erased by some modernist. This makes you unique as a nation and as a people.
Thank you for this. We Brits are humbled by the great gifts of history, that we have now inherited. God Save The King!
Nobody does pomp and circumstance better than the British
I love how some people sung in harmony at the end

It was. Sadly it was butchered by some Commonwealth heralds
A very respected university, Cambridge in Massachusetts in the U.S. was named in honor of Cambridge university in the U.K.
Absolutely majestic and regal, heartfelt condolences to late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II; may her soul rest in peace.

Either way, even as a Canadian he is a subject of the Crown.
The Vice Chancellor is Canadian
Dr Stephen Toope, outgoing Vice Chancellor, Canadian.

Did it take place on the 11th, in parallel with the Guildhall one, or at some other time?

Give Charles a break. He's been in the intern program longer than anybody.
How ironic that the speaker is American
