English: There are many different words that have been used in this Chamber and in other Parliaments and in other tributes to Her Majesty the Queen in recent days: duty, service, longevity, dedication, honour - I made a list of a few of them just in the Chamber today - dignity, grace, patience, commitment. But the one thing that I think speaks most to me about the Queen, the one word I would use to describe her, is her devotion. Every time I look at those pictures in my office, I think of the Queen's devotion, her devotion to her nation, to her peoples, not just here in the UK, but around the world and in the Commonwealth, her devotion to our armed forces - and, of course, she was the commander-in-chief of the British armed forces and the colonel-in-chief of both the Royal Welsh and the Welsh Guards - and her devotion to her family. The one conversation I ever had with the Queen was back in 2011, and it was on the occasion of the opening of the Senedd. We had been gathered for a lunchtime meal across the way in the millennium centre, and Members of the Senedd were ushered with their guests into a room upstairs on the first floor in order to meet Her Majesty. It was quite a press in that particular room, and I found it quite difficult, because I'm a little shorter than some, to muscle my way through the press in order to make it over to the Queen. So, I did what every good person who's a hanger-on tries to do; I hung around and waited for people to have their chats with the Queen and move on. And eventually, of course, the crowd began to dwindle and Her Majesty the Queen was suddenly there. Of course, you're not allowed to approach the Queen, are you? You have to wait for Her Majesty to speak to you. And she approached me and my wife, Rebecca, and she began to talk. And she was making all of the small talk that the Queen was able to do so tremendously well, but there was an opportunity, when she asked about what I did before I got elected to the Senedd and all of those things, there was an opportunity for my wife to talk to the Queen, and my wife spoke about our children at the time, who used to love watching Prince William go up in the search and rescue helicopter, above our house on occasions, in north Wales, because, of course, he'd been based at RAF Valley for a time, working as a search and rescue pilot. And the Queen's face just lit up, because she was devoted not only to her nation, country, people, the armed forces; she was devoted to her family. She loved her family. For all its faults, like every family in this room, she loved her family. And when she spoke about her grandson, Prince William, her face absolutely lit up. And of course, she was not just devoted to her family and her country and all of those other things; she was devoted to God. She made that pledge at the start of her reign. She made pledges in the coronation, and she made pledges throughout her life, to serve God in the best way that she could, to be the best monarch that she could be. She very much fulfilled that role of being the defender of the faith, which was one of her official titles. She championed the Christian faith that was so central to her life. She spoke often of it, of course, during the Christmas broadcasts. But, even as recently as last month, she spoke of her Christian faith in a letter to the Lambeth Conference. And in it, she said this: 'Throughout my life, the message and teachings of Christ have been my guide and in them I find hope. It is my heartfelt prayer that you will continue to be sustained by your faith in times of trial and encouraged by hope in times of despair.' Well, I want to say this: thank you, your Majesty, for inspiring me and my faith over the years, and that of millions around the globe. We appreciate your service, and I'm grateful to have had you as part of my family over the years that I have been brought up. And I say this to the new King, Charles III: thank you for your service to us, as our Prince of Wales, over more than five decades. I, for one, have appreciated that service and know what an excellent ambassador the new King has been for us during his tenure as Prince. And I say God save the King, and may God bless our new Prince William and Princess Katherine as they take on their new roles.
Welsh: Defnyddiwyd llawer o wahanol eiriau yn y Siambr hon ac mewn Seneddau eraill ac mewn teyrngedau eraill i'w Mawrhydi y Frenhines yn ystod y dyddiau diwethaf: dyletswydd, gwasanaeth, hirhoedledd, ymroddiad, anrhydedd - mi wnes i restr o ychydig ohonyn nhw yn y Siambr heddiw - urddas, gras, amynedd, ymrwymiad. Ond yr un peth yr wyf i'n credu sy'n fwyaf perthnasol i mi am y Frenhines yn fy marn i, yr un gair y byddwn i'n ei ddefnyddio i'w disgrifio hi, yw ei hymroddiad hi. Bob tro yr wyf i'n edrych ar y lluniau hyn yn fy swyddfa, rwy'n meddwl am ymroddiad y Frenhines, ei hymroddiad i'w chenedl, i'w phobol, nid yn unig yma yn y DU, ond ledled y byd ac yn y Gymanwlad, ei hymroddiad i'n lluoedd arfog - ac, wrth gwrs, hi oedd cadlywydd lluoedd arfog Prydain a phrif gyrnol y Cymry Brenhinol a'r Gwarchodlu Cymreig - a'i hymroddiad hi i'w theulu. Yn ôl yn 2011 y bu'r unig sgwrs a gefais i erioed gyda'r Frenhines, ac roedd hynny ar achlysur agor y Senedd. Roeddem ni wedi cael ein casglu ar gyfer pryd o fwyd amser cinio draw yng nghanolfan y mileniwm, ac fe gafodd Aelodau'r Senedd eu tywys gyda'u gwesteion i mewn i ystafell i fyny'r grisiau ar y llawr cyntaf er mwyn cyfarfod â'i Mawrhydi. Roedd yna gryn dipyn o'r wasg yn yr ystafell arbennig honno, ac roeddwn i'n ei chael hi'n eithaf anodd, am fy mod i ychydig yn fyrrach nag eraill, i wthio fy ffordd drwy'r wasg er mwyn cyrraedd y fan lle'r oedd y Frenhines. Felly, fe wnes i beth mae pob un sy'n dangos gallu i ddal ymlaen yn ei wneud; fe ddaliais i ymlaen ac aros i bobl gael eu sgyrsiau nhw â'r Frenhines a symud ymlaen. Ac yn y pen draw, wrth gwrs, fe ddechreuodd y dorf leihau ac yn sydyn roedd Ei Mawrhydi y Frenhines yno. Wrth gwrs, chewch chi ddim mynd at y Frenhines i siarad, chewch chi? Mae'n rhaid i chi aros i'w Mawrhydi siarad â chi. Ac fe ddaeth hi ataf i a fy ngwraig, Rebecca, ac fe ddechreuodd hi siarad â ni. Ac roedd hi'n gallu cynnal sgwrs fach fel roedd y Frenhines mor aruthrol o fedrus yn ei wneud, ond roedd yna gyfle, pan ofynnodd hi am yr hyn yr oeddwn i'n ei wneud cyn i mi gael fy ethol i'r Senedd a'r holl bethau hynny, cafodd fy ngwraig gyfle i siarad â'r Frenhines, ac fe siaradodd fy ngwraig am ein plant ni ar y pryd, a oedd yn arfer dwlu ar wylio'r Tywysog William yn mynd i fyny yn yr hofrennydd chwilio ac achub, uwchben ein tŷ ni ar adegau, yn y gogledd, oherwydd, wrth gwrs, roedd wedi ei leoli yn RAF Fali am gyfnod, gan weithio fel peilot chwilio ac achub. Ac roedd llygaid y Frenhines yn pefrio, oherwydd roedd hi'n ymroddedig nid yn unig i'w chenedl, gwlad, pobl, y lluoedd arfog; roedd hi'n ymroddedig i'w theulu. Roedd hi'n caru ei theulu. Er eu holl ddiffygion, fel pob teulu yn yr ystafell hon, roedd hi'n caru ei theulu. A phan oedd hi'n siarad am ei hŵyr, y Tywysog William, roedd ei llygaid hi'n pefrio. Ac wrth gwrs, nid dim ond ymroi i'w theulu a'i gwlad a'r holl bethau eraill hynny yr oedd; roedd hi'n ffyddlon i Dduw. Fe addawodd hynny ar ddechrau ei theyrnasiad. Fe addawodd yn y coroni, ac addo drwy gydol ei hoes, i wasanaethu Duw yn y ffordd orau y gallai hi, a bod y frenhines orau y gallai hi fod. Fe gyflawnodd hi'r swyddogaeth honno o fod yn amddiffynnwr y ffydd, a oedd yn un o'i theitlau swyddogol hi. Roedd hi'n hyrwyddo'r ffydd Gristnogol a oedd mor ganolog i'w bywyd. Roedd hi'n siarad am hynny'n aml, wrth gwrs, yn ystod y darllediadau Nadolig. Ond, hyd yn oed mor ddiweddar â'r mis diwethaf, fe soniodd hi am ei ffydd Gristnogol mewn llythyr at Gynhadledd Lambeth. Ac ynddo, dywedodd hyn: 'Gydol fy mywyd, neges a dysgeidiaeth Crist fu'n fy nhywys ac ynddyn nhw yr wyf i'n cael gobaith. Fy ngweddi o'r galon yw y byddwch chi'n parhau i gael eich cynnal gan eich ffydd mewn cyfnod o drallod a'ch annog gan obaith mewn cyfnodau o anobaith.' Wel, rwy'n dymuno dweud hyn: diolch i chi, eich Mawrhydi, am fy ysbrydoli i a fy ffydd i dros y blynyddoedd, a miliynau o amgylch y byd. Rydym ni'n gwerthfawrogi eich gwasanaeth chi, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar fy mod i wedi eich cael chi'n rhan o fy nheulu dros flynyddoedd fy mebyd. Ac rwy'n dweud hyn wrth y Brenin newydd, Charles III: diolch am eich gwasanaeth i ni, yn Dywysog Cymru, dros fwy na phum degawd. Rwyf i, am un, wedi gwerthfawrogi'r gwasanaeth hwnnw ac yn gwybod llysgennad mor ardderchog fu'r Brenin newydd i ni yn ystod ei gyfnod yn Dywysog. A dywedaf Duw gadwo'r Brenin, a bendithied Duw ein Tywysog William a'r Dywysoges Catherine wrth iddyn nhw ymgymryd â'u swyddi newydd.
