    “We have long and eagerly looked forward to your coming, and We greet you this evening with respect and affection”. “The Commonwealth of which Your Majesty is the Head stands today as symbol of this universality and provides, in its own way, encouragement for those of us who seek, on this African continent, to utilize in Our search for true unity what is best among the common instinct and aspirations shared by all men”.



    “In 1897 a treaty of friendship was signed with the Emperor Menelik 2nd . This friendship has remained the cornerstone of our relations into modern times and it continued through the dark days of 1935 and 1936, when your Imperial Majesty came to Britain after a gallant and heroic defiance of a ruthless aggressor, until your triumphal return to Addis Ababa in 1941. This followed a campaign in which our troops fought shoulder to shoulder to restore freedom and independence”.



    “It is my privilege to be the first reigning British Sovereign to set foot on Ethiopian soil. But your beautiful country is not unknown to my family. My uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, was here for Your Imperial Majesty's Jubilee in 1955; he was here, too, some twenty-seven years earlier at the time of your Coronation. Now at last my husband and I can make the acquaintance, at first hand, of a heroic and historic country which has long fascinated us. It is my hope that this occasion tonight in the Banqueting Hall of your predecessor, the Emperor Menelik 2nd , that great unifier of your country, will prove to be a happy augury for the future relations between Europe and Africa”.



    “Your Imperial Majesty, I have brought home to Ethiopia two treasures which left here nearly a hundred years ago, at a moment when the relations between our two countries were far different from those which so happily unite us today.

    As I raise my glass to your health, happiness and long prosperity, may I ask Your Imperial Majesty, as a token of our gratitude and esteem for your Throne and Person, to accept from me the Royal Cap and Imperial seal of the Emperor Theodore”.
