Her voice is so clear. Beautiful proper English. Love it. And the speech is really good. Inspiring. Indeed, life is one big examination. Agree with her very much.
Indeed, beautiful proper English , pronouciation and taking the time to speak clearly. These days the younger generation speak at neck breaking speed and have poor pronounciation. Even some royals could learn from this speach.
"I (too) took the road less travelled by / And that has made all the difference." A poem as peroration - - or is it the motto for a still uncompleted journey, as we risk the next step toward our final, but perhaps unanticipated, destination. An eloquent testimony; a compelling challenge ! Well said !!!
Dame Patricia truly is a remarkable woman. Without a script or a teleprompter in sight, she delivered an inspirational address, even reciting my favorite poem to perfection. Oh, to have been present that day.
What immaculate enunciation and diction. Our beautiful English language as it should be spoken. I could listen to her all day. No slurred words or glottal stops. Just wonderful.
A beautiful voice. One of dignity and great diction. One of confidence and projection, but not one instilled with ego or superiority. It is refined, but still with a hint of her Birkenhead origins in there, of which, unlike some of her characters, she has never shied away from.
90+ years of memorizing pages of dialogue. Check out "an unimportant woman." She rattles off page after page of the longest monologue ever, and you know every word is spot on. Incredible.
An amazing lady! An inspiration! A great speech, wise words, captivating. Such a delight to listen to. Live on! Dame Patricia Routledge woman of courage and joy!
She's 90 years old and is still capable of walking fairly quickly despite using a cane. She's in good health in comparison to most other 90 year old people.
Astounding indeed. I Googled 'Patricia Routledge 2019' so see what she looks like now and seeing recent pictures, I assumed that she abandoned public life at least 15 years ago. But it's her now! Amazing. All the best to you, Patricia
Not sure where you live, but she outdoes most of the 71-year olds near me. People smoked like chimneys, drank a lifetime and they're like the walking dead as soon they retire.
Thank you for sharing this. What a wonderful speech from an incredible, extraordinary woman who took great risks in her career and they certainly paid off!!
A British Dame quoting an American Poet. Yes, Mrs. Bucket should have appeared but Dame Patricia showed us more - she showed us true class, thought and intellect. She gave us wisdom only age can give. Thank you for taking a risk and letting us enjoy it along with you.
Yes: just listen to her sing "Climb Every Mountain", recite from Jesus's last discourse in the Gospel of John, or deliver one of Bennett's dramatic monologues! What faith! What humanity! What inspiration!
Now that Children is how a Woman who has had a well lived Life Gives a Speech to the Graduating Class who are about to Embark on a Journey of Life She has well Traveled over 90yrs Now.
@@hardyedwards5405 She didn't always do her own stunts. I saw them list the name of the stunt in the credits for the episode of her on the horse that galloped off with her.
She is a stunning woman. A force of nature in any role or capacity. I have always been a bit awed by her. I congratulate her on this honor, which I feel sure was as sweet fir her as being made a Dame.
Thank you for sharing...Dame Patricia is a remarkable lady on so many levels! Her closing of Frost's "The Road Not Taken" does indeed sum up her life and her hope for those graduates!
Mrs Bucket has hidden her light under a bushel. A marvelous speech, a wonderful memory and not an 'um' or 'ah' to be heard. A well deserved doctorate.'
What an amazing lady dame Patricia routledge is and look lovely at 90 ❤💖❤💖❤.. a great actress and fine soprano voice too🎤🎵🎶🎼.... it's bouquet b.u.c.k.e.t ..😀
What a wonderful speech. I’ve always loved Patricia Routledge in all of her acting and now I admire her ability as a excellent speaker. Enjoyed this so very much❣️
I just came upon this tonight. I got hooked on Patricia Routledge's work when my friends said to catch her on Keeping Up Appearances. I then came to know her work on the stage and was blown away by her singing. She is one of the greatest talents and when I need to just chill I turn to her works. She is a class act as we see here. May God continue to bless her.
Thank you for sharing this. What an amazing lady Patricia Routledge is. She has so many talents - not least her musical capabilities, her comic timing and her acting prowess. This was a wonderful speech which had me on the verge of tears and envious of her sharp mind even now. God bless her and keep het xxx
Elegant eloquence in a clear voice with impeccable diction from this remarkable woman, Dame Patricia Routledge. Deepest respect, admiration and gratitude for her presence among us.
Dr./Dame Patricia Routledge is a remarkable talent and an eternally youthful spirit. Her contributions to the arts are indelible. Thank you, Dame Routledge for giving audiences a lifetime of joy and inspiration through your boundless capacity to entertain and enlighten.
I'm probably gonna cry when she passes.. I remember watching Keeping Up Appearances with my mom and laughing a lot back in the 90's. I'm 34 now and my mom just passed away from breast cancer in November. We had just started re-watching Keeping Up Appearances when her condition suddenly got worse and she had to go to the hospital. She didn't like being at the hospital ( especially during Covid because there was barely any visitors allowed ) but when I saw her I'd keep telling her "we have a lot of Keeping Up Appearances episodes to watch when you come home". Unfortunately she became confused in the end and stopped eating and eventually passed. So Dame Patricia will always have a special place in my heart.
I love her! How I miss her. I recorded many of the episodes and when I was sad or depressed I would watch her and in a few minutes I was howling with laughter. She brought me joy and I didn’t feel sad anymore! I will always be grateful I got to enjoy her TV shows. And I still do. My house was completely destroyed by fire a few weeks ago. I was left with nothing but my dog. As I was weeping in sorrow and my son said it is time for an episode of your some laughter and I watched her with joy!! Bless her.
Dame Patricia once said she had hoped to become a teacher of English Literature. How fitting then for her to receive an honorary "Doctor of Letters" from her own County's University. Both sage and encouraging advice freely given here (from the heart).
You are truly amazing Dame Patricia Routledge! It was such a beautifully written and delivered speech. You have legitimately earned that Doctor of Letters with your mastery of the English language. Bravo!
Finally Hyacinth has made it! Importance and prestige!! If only Richard were here to see it.
Ryan Z he was trying to park the car!
@@brendanpilkington1446 no he was with onslow, daisy and rose looking for Daddy.
A very funny and witty comment!

What an inspiring speech such a gifted lady
Thank you for noticing that. It’s so important. She’s an amazing warm woman
I adore her hope she lives to a hundred. 😊

Amen to that!
A classic English lady.
Agreed! She is such a treasure!

She has made millions laugh for generations. She is absolutely delightful.
Why her ??
She's made the right choices
Delightful indeed
She didn't even need to read what she wanted to say....incredible, she's incredible.
I was thinking the same thing. Great respect to her.
What immaculate enunciation and diction. Our beautiful English language as it should be spoken. I could listen to her all day. No slurred words or glottal stops. Just wonderful.

Firm walking, no reading, great oratory, honor and glory to you, great Lady-
🌟👍👑DAME Patricia
Marvellous actress. Chester University is honoured to have her 👍🇬🇧
Eloquent. Articulate. Graceful. Thank you Dame Patricia Routledge for taking risks and passing all those tests.
I still think she should've gone up to the podium and opened with, "The Bouquet Residence, the lady of the house speaking!"
Ha ha ha! Love it!
was thinking the exact same thing!
That would be so funny..
PERFECT👌
Can't help noticing the congregation grinning. Probably thinking the same thing!!
WOW! No teleprompter and no evidence she referenced notes. That’s remarkable 🥰
That lady is smarter than the average Bucket!
yes...I was absolutely amazed as you were...unbelievable command in her presentation...slow and deliberate...every word carefully chosen...wow.
Old school
90+ years of memorizing pages of dialogue. Check out "an unimportant woman." She rattles off page after page of the longest monologue ever, and you know every word is spot on. Incredible.
I want to meet her so badly..Don’t we all?? What an amazing legend and an amazing woman.
Yessss!!!
I surely would. She is a gracious lady. Isn’t it ironic that I met her as Hyacinth, the opposite of the woman she really is❣️❣️❣️❣️
@@midsummernight2009 HAVE YOU met DAME Patricia IN person !!
@@levimacdonald5188 what makes you think i met Hyacinth Bucket in person?
An Amazing Lady, great actor...I had the privilege to see Lady Patricia acting in London...what an unforgettable evening.
What a captivating, inspirational, remarkable speech. Robert Frost! Life is a big examination. A person never stops learning!
What a beautiful speech! Moving to the core. Eloquence and meaning in equal measure.
Zen Kuriyama Well said, sir, well put.
I couldn't agree more.
"Sheridan! I received my honorary doctorate today!"
Sheridan is probably still at University with Tarquin working on his Bachelors!

I was wondering how shes doing now, and I found this. Glad to see shes doing so well and still looks good!
An amazing lady! An inspiration! A great speech, wise words, captivating. Such a delight to listen to. Live on!
Dame Patricia Routledge woman of courage and joy!

And that great, strong voice.
All that without a single note or prompt. Outstanding. X
Such a national treasure.
💯👍⭐ legendary Dame Patricia Routledge
Hey! Don’t be so selfish - she’s an international one! 😂 Europeans adore her in general, not just the British people ☺️
Two roads to choose from. I took the one less traveled, and that made all the difference!
She makes every word come alive with such intellect and passion . Thank You for Sharing this Precious Lady 🌹
This is such a great sight to see. Dame Patricia Routledge looks and sounds ever so well for 90 (she’s now 91 at the time of writing).
A wonderful, wonderful woman. What a beautiful voice. She is a true inspiration.
Thank you for sharing this. What a wonderful speech from an incredible, extraordinary woman who took great risks in her career and they certainly paid off!!

Thank you, Dame Patricia Routledge, for your theatrics and acting.
A beautiful voice that rings out; she’s also a woman of religion and that is fitting for her lesson in life for all those gathered.
Yes: just listen to her sing "Climb Every Mountain", recite from Jesus's last discourse in the Gospel of John, or deliver one of Bennett's dramatic monologues! What faith! What humanity! What inspiration!
What a wonderful inspiring lady..everytime I hear her give interviews she comes across as a very decent compassionate lady.
DAME Patricia routledge is VERY down TO earth AND very approachable A very NICE LADY
What a classy lady...! An icon!
What a splendid woman and actor, and above all a splendid human being.
Absolutely right. It was a heart-felt, moving address.
What an amazing lady. She is very well spoken and speaks very well about her journey on this life. It's all a risk at the end of the day.
She's an example of slow and clear speech.
What a career. One of those few people you just wish nothing but the best. So happy so see she already lived a long life
❤❤❤

She deserves a standing ovation ❤, outstanding, amazing human being 😀.
British Icon - extraordinary lady
Great woman, great personality! Such a delight listening to her!

@@stevecox7075 here's TO wishing DAME Patricia routledge -)) many more healthy years STILL TO come 💖🌈
She looks very good for 90 years old. She walked soo fast up to make speech. Fast walker for a woman of 90 years old
Remember she did all her own stunts in "Keeping Up Appearances". She has always been pretty physical.
@@hardyedwards5405 She ran a lot too for things that Hyacinth was always getting herself into.
@@hardyedwards5405 She didn't always do her own stunts. I saw them list the name of the stunt in the credits for the episode of her on the horse that galloped off with her.
@@orane3549 Hardly surprising. How many people do you know that can ride horse? Personally I don't know anyone.
@@iriscollins7583 What is your point? I was referring to the comment that "she did her own stunt." Was I incorrect?
Magnificent speech by a magnificent woman. BRAVO! Your own career has brightened my life.
Well put, she has indeed brightened many lives
Mrs Bucket really is posh. We all knew it! 💜💜💜 A truly great lady!
It's Bouquet lol
An extraordinary woman of great intelligence and humanity.
Thank you so much for sharing this gem. How privileged those graduates were to share their graduation with this woman! Wow 😀
Incredible presentation. Such a commanding presence... memory, selection of topic, energy of spirit... memorable to those viewing and hearing.
God bless this amazing woman!
I could listen to this lady all day. I`ve loved everything she has done. She is way up there with the best of them !
💯👍⭐
Thee BEST in my opinion
Lovee HER
"Oh no, it's the Bucket woman!"
"Ahh Vicar, Good Morning!"
Will she be inviting anyone to her Candlelight Suppers?
With the Royal doulton with hand painted periwinkle
I am sure she had one that night, after her ceremony 🌆
She didin't use the paper she took with her. Brain stil in good shape.
Indeed!
She's like the English English Betty White, in direct opposition with her age
A distinguished, rare sound of English, not to be often heard today, unfortunately.
@Steven Lyndsey "thug talk"?
The Road less Travelled one of the best books ever - a life teacher ! 🥰
AWESOME !!!!!! Great speech !!! Patricia and definitely Hyacinth Bouquet will always be cherised and remembered !!! XXXX
What an wonderful Speech from the most beautiful women!
