Who said it

-

“We were not only poor, we were in debt. All the sound and lighting companies and the people we worked with hadn’t been paid. So we were at a crucial point. We might have had to break up if that album hadn’t done well” - Queen guitarist Brian May on the album A Night At The Opera. “She is the Queen. She will behave with the extraordin­ary dignity and extraordin­ary courage that she always does. And at the same time she is saying farewell to someone to whom she was married for 73 years. I think that must be a very profound thing in anybody’s life” Archbishop

of Canterbury.

“It will reflect military precision and above all will be a celebratio­n of a life well-lived. It will also show how much the armed forces loved and respected him” - General Sir Nick Carter, the Chief of the Defence Staff on the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.

“When I was thinking about what song I wanted to write for now I was thinking that we have been through such a rubbish time. I wanted to write something that feels like a celebratio­n, something you can dance to, whether it is in an arena in Rotterdam or in your kitchen” - Eurovision Song Contest hopeful James Newman on Embers, his entry for the competitio­n.

“The current guidance that effectivel­y imprisons all care home residents by the threat of 14 days’ self-isolation reveals a shameful disregard for a group of people who have already lost more than a year from their lives” - Julia Jones, co-founder of John’s Campaign, which is considerin­g a legal challenge over guidance requiring care home residents to isolate for 14 days if they leave their facility.
