English: I, like many others in this Chamber today, thought this was a speech that none of us would have to make. When the sad announcement came of the passing of the Queen, it left a void in our hearts and a shared grief with people right across our country and the world, as we paused together to remember the greatest servant the world had ever seen. My thoughts and prayers, along with all my constituents, are with His Majesty the King and the whole royal family, and also with the people of our country and the Commonwealth, as we come to terms with the loss of a beloved sovereign and our grandmother of the nation. Despite the sadness and grief, I am glad that we are able to come together and remember the extraordinary life of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. As many have said, she has lived a life that was well-lived, and she fulfilled her promise to serve with dignity and devotion to our nation and the Commonwealth to the end of her very long life. She was a Queen for all parts of the United Kingdom and all parts of the Commonwealth, and she was an inspiration to many people right across the globe. I would like to take this opportunity to remember the links Her Majesty had with my home, and the people of Brecon and Radnorshire. In 1947, before becoming Queen, she was honorary president of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, and in 1952, she became patron of the Royal Welsh, and made a number of visits to Llanelwedd throughout the years, including marking the centenary of the Royal Welsh in 2004. In 1955, the Duke of Edinburgh, as he always did, accompanied Her Majesty on a royal tour of Wales - her first as monarch. Their first stop? Of course it had to be one of the best places in Wales: Brecon. She visited Brecon on a number of occasions, including a service to celebrate the diamond jubilee of the diocese of Brecon and Swansea at the cathedral in 1983. On her Golden Jubilee, she visited Dolau in Radnorshire on the royal train, where she was met with smiles and happiness from all who attended, and I'm very glad to say the royal train arrived on time. To mark her own Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Her Majesty visited the Glanusk estate and was welcomed by children from over 50 schools in the area. Her Majesty braved the rain, meeting and greeting as many people as possible with that infectious smile. The Duke of Edinburgh, for most of the visit, observed, quite wisely, at a distance from a Land Rover window, always there supporting Her Majesty the Queen. I'm unable to cover all of her visits, but that selection shows the incredible breadth and depth of Her late Majesty's relationship with the people of mid Wales and the people of Brecon and Radnorshire. In all, she had a truly remarkable life, the likes of which we are unlikely to see again. It was an honour to meet her here in person at the Senedd on our first official opening. Her Majesty and I talked about her great passion of farming, and she knew an awful lot about venison prices, and she stood for five minutes asking me how it was going - something I will not forget. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was a person who believed in continuity and duty, and as the heavy burden of responsibility passes to His Majesty King Charles III, to carry on the history of a monarchy that dates back over 1,000 years in these islands, we can all draw comfort that the continuity of the monarchy provides stability, hope and a sense of pride, as we all now join together as one United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and all the Commonwealth nations to say, 'Thank you, Your Majesty, rest in peace on your last journey to meet your strength and stay again. God save the King.'
Welsh: Roeddwn i, fel llawer o bobl eraill yn y Siambr hon heddiw, wedi meddwl bod hon yn araith na fyddai'n rhaid i'r un ohonom ei gwneud. Pan ddaeth y cyhoeddiad trist am farwolaeth y Frenhines, gadawodd wagle yn ein calonnau a galar cyffredin ymhlith pobl ar draws ein gwlad a'r byd, wrth i ni gymryd amser gyda'n gilydd i gofio'r gwas gorau a welodd y byd erioed. Mae fy meddyliau a'm gweddïau, ynghyd â'm holl etholwyr, gydag Ei Fawrhydi y Brenin a'r teulu brenhinol cyfan, a hefyd gyda phobl ein gwlad a'r Gymanwlad, wrth i ni ddod i delerau â cholli sofran annwyl a nain ein cenedl. Er y tristwch a'r galar, rwy'n falch ein bod ni'n gallu dod at ein gilydd a chofio bywyd rhyfeddol Ei Mawrhydi y Frenhines Elizabeth II diweddar. Fel y dywedodd llawer, mae hi wedi byw bywyd a oedd wedi'i fyw'n dda, a chyflawnodd ei haddewid i wasanaethu gydag urddas ac ymroddiad i'n cenedl a'r Gymanwlad hyd ddiwedd ei hoes hir iawn. Roedd hi'n Frenhines i bob rhan o'r Deyrnas Unedig a phob rhan o'r Gymanwlad, ac roedd hi'n ysbrydoliaeth i lawer o bobl ledled y byd. Hoffwn achub ar y cyfle hwn i gofio'r cysylltiadau oedd gan Ei Mawrhydi gyda fy nghartref, a phobl Brycheiniog a Sir Faesyfed. Yn 1947, cyn dod yn Frenhines, bu'n llywydd anrhydeddus Cymdeithas Amaethyddol Frenhinol Cymru, ac yn 1952 daeth yn noddwr i'r Sioe Frenhinol, a gwnaeth nifer o ymweliadau â Llanelwedd ar hyd y blynyddoedd, gan gynnwys nodi canmlwyddiant Sioe Frenhinol Cymru yn 2004. Ym 1955, aeth Dug Caeredin, fel y gwnaeth bob amser, gyda'i Mawrhydi ar daith frenhinol o amgylch Cymru - ei cyntaf fel brenhines. Eu stop cyntaf? Wrth gwrs roedd yn rhaid iddo fod yn un o'r llefydd gorau yng Nghymru: Aberhonddu. Ymwelodd ag Aberhonddu sawl tro, gan gynnwys gwasanaeth i ddathlu jiwbilî diemwnt esgobaeth Aberhonddu ac Abertawe yn y gadeirlan yn 1983. Ar ei Jiwbilî Aur, aeth draw i Ddolau yn sir Faesyfed ar y trên brenhinol, lle cafodd groeso llond gwên a hapusrwydd yn treiddio ymhlith pawb a fynychodd, ac rwy'n falch iawn o ddweud i'r trên brenhinol gyrraedd ar amser. I nodi ei Jiwbilî Diemwnt ei hun yn 2012, ymwelodd Ei Mawrhydi ag ystâd Glanusk a chafodd ei chroesawu gan blant o dros 50 o ysgolion yr ardal. Bu Ei Mawrhydi yn wrol yn y glaw, yn cyfarfod a chyfarch cymaint o bobl â phosib gyda'r wên heintus honno. Bu'r Dug Caeredin yn gwylio o bell am y rhan fwyaf o'r ymweliad, yn ddigon doeth, o ffenestr Land Rover, bob amser yno'n cefnogi Ei Mawrhydi'r Frenhines. Dwi ddim yn gallu sôn am bob un o'i hymweliadau, ond mae'r detholiad hwnnw'n dangos ehangder a dyfnder anhygoel perthynas Ei Mawrhydi diweddar â phobl canolbarth Cymru a phobl Brycheiniog a Sir Faesyfed. Rhwng popeth, cafodd fywyd gwirioneddol ryfeddol, o'r fath yr ydym yn annhebygol o'i weld eto. Roedd hi'n anrhydedd cael cwrdd â hi yma'n bersonol yn y Senedd yn ystod ein hagoriad swyddogol cyntaf. Bu ei Mawrhydi a minnau'n sôn am ei hangerdd mawr, sef ffermio, ac roedd hi'n gwybod llawer iawn am brisiau cig carw, ac fe safodd am bum munud yn gofyn i mi sut roedd yn mynd - rhywbeth nad anghofiaf i fyth. Roedd Ei Mawrhydi'r Frenhines Elizabeth II yn berson a gredai mewn parhad a dyletswydd, ac wrth i faich trwm cyfrifoldeb basio i'w Fawrhydi Brenin Charles III, i barhau â hanes brenhiniaeth sy'n dyddio'n ôl dros 1,000 o flynyddoedd yn yr ynysoedd hyn, gallwn oll dynnu cysur o'r ffaith bod parhad y frenhiniaeth yn rhoi sefydlogrwydd, gobaith a balchder, wrth i ni i gyd uno gyda'n gilydd, fel un Deyrnas Unedig Prydain Fawr a Gogledd Iwerddon a holl wledydd y Gymanwlad, i ddweud, 'Diolch, Eich Mawrhydi, gorffwyswch mewn heddwch ar eich taith olaf i gwrdd â'ch cryfder a'ch angor eto. Duw a achub y Brenin.'
