A tribute to the late Queen and a rendition of the national anthem passed without incident at the opening of the Labour conference in Liverpool.
There had been fears that singing the anthem would be interrupted by republican-supporting delegates but the minute’s silence in memory of the Queen was observed before a people in the hall sang God Save The King and applauded.
Labour leader Keir Starmer had earlier paid tribute to the Queen, telling party members it “still feels impossible to imagine a Britain without her”.Starmer said: “Because our Queen’s devotion to Britain was underpinned by one crucial understanding – she knew that the country she came to symbolise is bigger than any one individual or institution.”He added: “Conference, as we enter a new era, let’s commit to honouring the late Queen’s memory.
Let’s turn up our collar up and face the storm, keep alive the spirit of public service she embodied and let it drive us towards a better future.“For 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II stood as head of our country, but, in spirit, she stood amongst us.” To sign up to the Daily Record Politics newsletter, click here.
