In this television broadcast Queen Elizabeth expressed appreciation for the "ageless ideals" that many were throwing aside "as if they were old and outworn machinery."
She also said, "I am not surprised that many people feel lost and unable to decide what to hold onto and what to discard." She warned that thoughtless people “would have religion thrown aside, morality in personal and public life made meaningless, honesty counted as foolishness and self-interest set up in place of self-restraint.” Those words are as timely today as when they were spoken.
