Dr Fair said: “I’m very much honoured to have been invited to speak at this special service to mark the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth and give thanks for her life.” He added: “But she had a calm and gentle smile at that moment and I think she knew what I was saying and that she did know how much she was loved.” Speaking on the eve of the special service, he said: “It was an enormous privilege to have spent time with her and finding her in such good spirits, bright and sharp, was a joy.

The late monarch surprised everyone by appearing alongside the Peruvian bear inside Buckingham Palace.
