Daniel Craig, Michelle Obama and Sir Paul McCartney are among the celebrities who have expressed their appreciation of the Queen’s service over her 70-year reign. Their comments came in special video clips aired during the BBC’s Platinum Party at the Palace concert.
As part of the special Jubilee event, film footage of the Queen at her coronation was played with a voiceover of the monarch saying: “When I was 21 I pledged my life to the service of our people and I asked for God’s help to make good that vow. I do not regret nor retract one word of it.”. It was followed by pre-recorded video messages from famous faces who spoke of their love for the monarch.
James Bond star Craig said: “Your Majesty, thank you for your continued presence in our lives, for your leadership, and for your unwavering grace and poise. The actor, 54, also referenced the memorable sketch from the London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony where it looked like Craig had jumped out of a helicopter with the Queen. Recalling the moment, he added: “I will follow you anywhere Mam, out of any helicopter door."
