English: As those who have visited my office, or had the misfortune of watching my contributions virtually during the pandemic, will be able to attest, I have two photographs of Her Majesty the Queen in my office. They're on display in my office alongside other treasured photographs of my family. The reason for that is because the Queen felt like a member of my family, frankly. My mum is named after the Queen. Her name's Elizabeth, or Liz, as her friends like to call her. She was born in 1952, which, of course, is the year in which the Queen took the throne. But the fact that the Queen was constantly on the television and we were constantly reading about her life - and we'd have the ups and downs in family life - made it feel as though she was part of our home, that we had a close association with her - that personal connection that other Members of the Senedd have spoken of. Yes, of course, she spoke to the nation in times of national crisis and uncertainty, including during the pandemic, and she always brought those words of comfort and encouragement. Like other families in this Chamber, and millions of people around the world, every Christmas we would sit as a family and watch Her Majesty the Queen address the nation in her Christmas broadcasts. So, the news that the Queen had passed away felt like a huge personal blow to me and to many people, no doubt, in this Chamber. And of course, it was a huge personal blow to many people in my own constituency, who've been in touch in order to express - and to ask me to express on their behalf - their deepest condolences to King Charles III and his family on their behalf. I can remember the very first time I saw the Queen in the flesh. It's quite a thrill, isn't it, when it hasn't happened before. It was during the Golden Jubilee tour, and the Queen was due to arrive in Eirias Park at the stadium, and I was given a ticket - I think I was the deputy mayor or something in Towyn and Kinmel Bay - or the mayor couldn't make it and he'd passed the ticket on. I turned up to this place, and there were thousands of people in the stadium. We were all waiting for the royal couple to arrive - Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh - and there was a compère, if you like, for the event, who was getting us all to do Mexican waves. It got to a point where, as is sometimes the case, there had been a bit of a delay. So, he was trying to string this thing out, getting us to do more and more Mexican waves. But, eventually, the hush came, because news got to us all that Her Majesty the Queen and her car had turned into the park. There was silence, just for a brief moment, before the crowd erupted with cheers because the Queen had arrived. And that excitement was exactly the same every time I ever saw the Queen.
Welsh: Fel mae pawb sydd wedi ymweld â fy swyddfa i, neu sydd wedi gorfod gwylio fy nghyfraniadau rhithwir yn ystod y pandemig, yn gallu tystio, mae gen i ddau lun o'i Mawrhydi y Frenhines yn fy swyddfa. Maen nhw'n cael eu harddangos yn fy swyddfa ochr yn ochr â lluniau eraill o'm teulu yr wyf i'n eu trysori. Y rheswm am hynny yw bod y Frenhines yn teimlo fel aelod o'm teulu, a dweud y gwir. Cafodd fy mam ei henwi ar ôl y Frenhines. Elizabeth, neu Liz, fel mae ei ffrindiau yn hoffi ei galw hi, yw ei henw hi. Cafodd hi ei geni yn 1952, sef, wrth gwrs, y flwyddyn y daeth Frenhines i'w horsedd. Ond roedd y ffaith bod y Frenhines ar y teledu trwy'r amser ac roeddem ni'n darllen am ei bywyd hi'n fynych - ac wrth i ni brofi hapusrwydd a thristwch yn ein bywyd teuluol - yn gwneud iddi deimlo fel petai hithau'n rhan o'n cartref ni, a bod gennym ni gysylltiad agos â hi - y cysylltiad personol hwnnw y mae Aelodau eraill o'r Senedd wedi sôn amdano. Do, wrth gwrs, fe wnaeth hi siarad â'r genedl mewn cyfnod o argyfwng ac ansicrwydd cenedlaethol, gan gynnwys yn ystod y pandemig, ac roedd hi bob amser yn cyfrannu'r geiriau hynny o gysur ac anogaeth. Fel teuluoedd eraill yn y Siambr hon, a miliynau o bobl ledled y byd, bob Nadolig fe fyddai'r teulu cyfan yn eistedd i wylio Ei Mawrhydi y Frenhines yn annerch y genedl yn ei darllediadau Nadolig. Felly, roedd y newyddion bod y Frenhines wedi marw yn teimlo fel ergyd bersonol enfawr i mi ac i lawer o bobl, mae'n siŵr, yn y Siambr hon. Ac wrth gwrs, roedd hi'n ergyd enfawr yn bersonol i lawer o bobl yn fy etholaeth i fy hun, sydd wedi bod mewn cysylltiad i fynegi - ac yn gofyn i mi fynegi ar eu rhan nhw - eu cydymdeimlad dwysaf i'r Brenin Charles III a'i deulu ar eu rhan nhw. Rwy'n gallu cofio'r tro cyntaf erioed i mi weld y Frenhines yn y cnawd. Mae'n hynny'n gyffrous iawn, onid ydyw, pan nad yw wedi digwydd o'r blaen. Roedd hynny'n ystod taith y Jiwbilî Aur, ac roedd y Frenhines i fod i gyrraedd Parc Eirias yn y stadiwm, ac fe ges i docyn - rwy'n meddwl mai fi oedd y dirprwy faer neu rywbeth yn Nhowyn a Bae Cinmel - neu nad oedd y maer yn gallu bod yn bresennol ac roedd e' wedi pasio'r tocyn ymlaen. Fe wnes i gyrraedd y lle, ac roedd miloedd o bobl yn y stadiwm. Roeddem ni i gyd yn aros i'r cwpl brenhinol gyrraedd - Ei Mawrhydi y Frenhines a Dug Caeredin - ac roedd cyflwynydd, os mynnwch chi, ar gyfer y digwyddiad, a oedd yn ein cael ni i gyd i wneud tonnau Mecsicanaidd. Fe gyrhaeddodd pwynt lle, fel sy'n digwydd weithiau, yr oedd tipyn o oedi wedi bod. Felly, roedd yn ceisio llenwi'r amser, gan ein cael ni i wneud mwy a mwy o donnau Mecsicanaidd. Ond, yn y pen draw, fe aeth hi'n dawel, oherwydd fe ddaeth newyddion atom i gyd fod Ei Mawrhydi'r Frenhines a'i char wedi troi i mewn i'r parc. Roedd tawelwch, dim ond am eiliad fer, cyn i'r dorf ffrwydro gyda bonllefau am fod y Frenhines wedi cyrraedd. Ac roedd y cyffro hwnnw'n union yr un fath bob tro y gwelais i'r Frenhines erioed.
