QUEEN ELIZABETH TALKS CORONAVIRUS: In a historic televised address Sunday, Queen Elizabeth rallied her country against the coronavirus. The 93-year-old said: “It reminds me of the very broadcast I made, in 1940, helped by my sister,” she said, with a black and white photograph showing her at the time with sister Princess Margaret. “We as children spoke from here at Windsor to children who had been evacuated from their homes and sent away for their own safety. Today, once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones,” she said of strict lockdowns enforced in the UK. But now, as then, we know, deep down, that it is the right thing to do.” She added: “I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge. And those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any.” (Page Six)
