Before we come to decision time, I would like to say a few words to mark a special occasion.
As we commemorate the milestone of our longest-serving monarch, I had the pleasure and privilege to be with Her Majesty the Queen today. I was therefore in the very fortunate position to be able to pass on in person best wishes and warmest congratulations on behalf of the Scottish Parliament.
During the event today—the wonderful opening of the Borders railway—I saw yet again the commitment of a woman who has worked through decades of public service. That incredible commitment has not diminished with the passing of time.
I am sure that all MSPs will wish to join me today in marking a landmark moment not just in our history, but in the remarkable and dedicated journey of one woman’s life of public service. [Applause.]
