Royal Engagement

Debate between Lord Alderdice and Lord Bishop of Blackburn

Tuesday 16th November 2010 Lords Chamber

[Lord Alderdice]

My Lords, there are few things more exciting in life than watching a young couple make their public commitment to each other and step out in life together. We on these Benches very much wish to be associated with the words of the Leader of the House in congratulations and very good wishes to the young couple.

[The Lord Bishop of Blackburn]

My Lords, from this Bench I should like to express our great delight at this wonderful news. We wish His Royal Highness and Miss Kate Middleton our very best wishes and assure them of our prayers not only today but in the months to come.
