A remarkable speech that completely personified the magnitude of this historic occasion.
Not just a head of state speaking to his people, this is a man stepping into his destiny and a son grieving his Mother.
His grief is the nations grief. God Save The King. 🇬🇧
“Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today.”
His Majesty The King addresses the Nation and the Commonwealth.

Fantastic trip to Belfast at the weekend - one of the best UK cities with an amazing food and drink scene. It was fascinating to visit different communities and hear first hand from people who experienced the troubles. Also great to enjoy the beautiful gardens of @HillsCastle.

Pitch perfect as always and a message that speaks to everyone after a very tough year. Merry Christmas, one and all. – at Glasgow, Scotland
“And for me and my family, even with one familiar laugh missing this year, there will be joy in Christmas, as we have the chance to reminisce…”

Very cool to be at the opening of the @nytimes Climate Hub at #COP26. Pleasure to meet @SDunbarJ and listen to @MarkLandler interview Nicola Sturgeon.
"I'm a footballer and I'm gay."
@jack_murley: “Those six words may not sound like much, but Josh Cavallo's decision to open up about his sexuality is hugely significant.”
This is wonderful news for @JoshuaCavallo, and for society in general! bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-5906…
The #InsideThePresidentsWarRoom doc shows how important photography is to understanding our history. Pictures of P.Bush & team are incredible as they reflect the magnitude of historic events & the need for huge decisions Vs reality of individual feeling and thoughts. Astounding.
For anyone who likes silly American humour, SNL style, this film is a must watch. Jamie Dornan is bloody superb. #BarbAndStar – at Glasgow, Scotland
Happy Sunday from glorious Glasgow. The puppy is enjoying some chilled beer and @BritishGQ. #HappySunday #SunnyScotland

First #COVID19 vaccination done ✔️
Big thanks to the @NHSLanarkshire staff and volunteers at the Ravenscraig vaccination centre. It was great to see the operation first hand - to think you can get a life saving vaccination during your lunch break! #ThankYouNHS #RollUpYourSleeves

Wonderful way to celebrate the hard work, commitment and dedication of NHS staff, as well as the wider health and social care workforce, for all they have done over the last year. Hope you all had a wonderful evening.

Some personal news: after a very busy year dealing with all things #COVID19 and heading up the @scotgovhealth communications team, I am delighted to be taking over as Head of Comms for Finance and Economy in the @scotgov working with @_KateForbes.
#COVID19Vaccine news from @scotgov: People who think they should have received details about their first or second dose should call the national helpline or fill out the missing appointments form on the NHS Inform site. ⬇️

A class act to the end. Congratulations on all you’ve achieved in @ScotParl since 1999 - from your work in Eastwood, your Sunbed Parlours Members Bill and the parliamentary reforms introduced as Presiding Officer. A pleasure to have played a small part and wishing you the best 🎉
Signing off as Presiding Officer and so pleased to be passing the gavel to @AlisonJohnstone. I have every hope that with 43 new MSPs, this is another refreshed @ScotParl which will deliver for the people of Scotland.

Aptly timed photo memory. Five years ago today celebrating @PO_KenMacintosh’s election as @ScotParl Presiding Officer. With a new parly session and the imminent election of a new PO, wishing Ken, @claireka2 and the whole Macintosh clan the very best for life after Holyrood!

That amazing @eltonofficial and @alexander_olly @BRITs performance was even more incredible because Elton John could never have given that performance when he was Olly Alexander’s age. It shows how far we have come and how much we need to fight to build on that equality. #BRITs
