ah oh yeah, i a i in me. it's 18 at gmc aus, and a new reign begins in britain. the new monarch,

king charles the 3rd has addressed a nation, grieving for his mother. you case longest serving mana queen, elizabeth the 2nd a towering figure who rose above politics and remembered at home and abroad in it, trees and members of the public have gathered that saint paul's cathedral in the service of remembrance. and i in a televised address in charles a 3rd pledge to continue her legacy of diligently serving the people of britain and the common alongside the personal grief with all my family feeling. we also share with so many of you in the united kingdom, in all the countries where the queen was head of state in the commonwealth and across the world. a deep sense of gratitude for the more than 70 years in

which my mother, as queen, served the people of so many nations as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion. i too now solemnly pledged myself throughout the remaining time. god groan smith to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. to my darling mamma. as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late papa, i want simply to say this. thank you. thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations. you have served so diligently all these years may flights of angels singing to thy wrist.

ah no. leave. barker is my 1st outside bucking and pass and nave. as we watch these pictures of this solemn said, this is very much a case of a nation coming together. it's absolutely wrong. so to have services like this to not only reflect upon the life of the moment that obviously had to punch a. dat. 6 is clearly having

a big impact on many people across this country. she's being part of the nation's fabric for so long the so part of a nation reflecting on her life, but also healing and reflecting also on the future to come with a need. when does the monarchy go from here? that is, is very much the end of an era and the start of a new one. yes, a really big question isn't n m, as a free for the school boy knows we measure time here in the united kingdom, not just a is and days. we measure it in terms of who is on the throne in terms of eras. and there are very few opportunities to really say,

genuinely that we've come to the end of an era, but we have this time the end of the elizabethan era. and what comes ahead is unknown births are king charles authority in his important speech outlined that he will be a continuity, monica, that he will uphold the longstanding traditions that his mother upheld for so many years. but at the same time, would also be somebody that connects the past with the future as well. during queen elizabeth time on the throne. as she oversee was a coordinated at the time when cities like london were in ruins. the tail end of the 2nd world war. she was a fresh faced monarch during the swinging sixties and became an image almost of cool britannia. and in later years, a grandmother figure after to many people in this country appearing in children's books, everything from paddington. bear to of course they famous a video where she took paths in the opening ceremony for 2012 olympic games. but

she was made to look as if she was jumping out of a helicopter, having met james bond earlier, somebody with a sense of fun. but somebody also, that was an almost an extension of the nation's identity. so where we go from there now is unclear of the nation's identity is now still very much intertwined with the royal family. but it will take some time for king charles and his identity as opposed to be stamped upon this country. and for people essentially to get used to it bach her after knocking in pilots, they're worse. thank. he wouldn't have another listen to the said, oh ah,

the national anthem being sung there with the phrase and with god save the king. well, let sir. go live now 219 barbara who's outside saint paul's cathedral, where that service is taking place. certain that in the nation has heard it. king charles, his 1st address, what will they have made it very well from reaction that i've just been reading on social media. the, the, the i'm feeling is that he did a very good job in difficult circumstances. clearly he's in morning for his late mother, although she was a 96 year old woman. and this moment would have been fine for well in the fall it's, of course he is going to have very strong emotions right now. and nonetheless,

we found words which hate attribute to her, but on so close she the wider public only draws a mean as many of them feel a sense of loss as well with the reminded people that her queen elizabeth had talked about. i am a commitment to lifelong service and brought back when she was a young woman and he re committed or he renewed that bowed himself now, but he's the monarch. he also spoke of his love for prince harry and his wife. megan. as for you, as he put it, start their lives overseas. of course, the fact that they left the united kingdom and have criticized the royal family for basically not having their

backs and also accusations of racism in the institution as well. that's caused a lot of friction clearly, but he's saying that he has such affection for them to perhaps that change some people's attitudes. lyric. kincaid because amongst people who do considerably self staunch loyalist that has really severe criticism all harry hines make it in the last couple of years, reminded us to go. everyone in the u. k. does consider themselves a supporter of the institution. but many of those people still will if they've listened to prince charles, his televised address have recognized the humanity in the message that he was delivering. and of course, it was a universalist message because he stated quite clearly that britain has undergone changes. he said that in the last 70 years, quote,

we've seen society become one of many cultures and many fights. he said that the national institutions have also enough inevitably changed as well, but said that, quote, our values have remained and must remain constant. so a way of him reminding people that he is meant to be a head of state for the whole of society, the people of various backgrounds. and he's made a big thing throughout his life, of reaching out see what the culture is. another fight into fight work or speak part of what he's been known for as well as environmental issues. although he said, he realizes what he in the policy said that he realized when he, if he actually took the phone, but he would have to he would have to change the nature of what he said that he couldn't be quite so outspoken. well,

those issues are still very good and the re beginning of a not loving everyone to pause to think of what it means for so many long life of great rich and south. oh, wow. and those are the bells ringing out from since paul's cathedral. during that special service of thanks and your affection, we're going to bring in ed owens, he's

a royal historian. he joins us from long enough. thank you for joining us here on that al jazeera, as you see these pictures. so what kind of mana can we expect king charles to be? do you think what i think what we've seen the seasoning suggest the prince charles is seeking to emulate. now that he is king, the example set by his mother, as monarch. he is presenting himself publicly as her inherited inheritor of her ideas. he spoke lovingly, affectionately of his mother and the example that she said, going right back to 947 when of course, she's famous. the dedicated her life for the service of her peoples. the new king also spoke of how her life had been defined by public service, duty self sacrifice,

that she nation and commonwealth ahead of her own personal gratification. and he talked of how he would in turn follow that example. he talked to how he would adhere to the constitutional principles that we, we venerate just part of our modern democracy. i actually think listening back to, to that, that address from the new king that he also spoke of how he will have to make sacrifices, how he will no longer be able to, to vocalize his is political opinions as he had done when he was prince of wales, this idea of self sacrifice is a powerful one, whether it's about being a royal in the, in the line life of the media. whether it's about having to make sacrifices in terms of one's private life. in order to fulfill public duties each one of these ideas that the stretches back to the, to the early 20th century and has done much to the british royal family, our affection and loyalty. so the last thing impression that i got this evening was

that our new king is looking to emulate the model of constitutional monarchy established by elizabeth. is that continuity, though, possible in modern multicultural britain, when you consider how the monarchy would need to come to terms with its own history, often rooted in privilege. colonialism are a sad as this is. of course, there are some who would say that those issues were, were brushed aside. how is the monarchy going to go ahead with that? i think that over the course of the last 150 years, the monarchy has demonstrated a sort of a tenacious ability to survive. it's often been at odds with certain sections of the british public. go back to the 1900 century. there were many members of the working classes that were not endeared to the british monarchy,

but they managed to win them over. equally. in the, in the middle of the 20th century, we saw the communist party of great britain loudly criticizing the monarchy. and yet the more he managed to come to terms with the new politics of, of socialism, of the welfare state in the, in the 2nd half of the, of the 20th century, also the 2nd world war. and now in multicultural britain, we've already seen both lives. but the 2nd and the new king reaching out to those, those communities, ethnic minority communities over the last 1020 years befriending them. taking a keen interest in that culture, religion, the way of life i'm really working to, to elevate the monarchy as this unifying symbol. as you rightly point out, that have been in the last 4 or 5 years. accusations, i think the monarchy does carry something of an imperial

hang with it. and of course it was the center of the british empire for more than $100.00. 50 is we have already seen how it is actively dealing with those negative legacies. when king charles was lost in the caribbean, he spoke of the stain of slavery and, and how it was an eternal stain on, on britain's reputation. that is publicly. if he like acknowledging these, these problematic histories and trying to come to terms with them. so trying to sets a positive example. and we saw these pictures of king charles earlier meeting members of the public outside buckingham palace and in an impromptu walk about as it is that part of that reaching out displaying a common touch where we know that really prince

charles, now king charles. busy his public image underwent really a rehabilitation post 997. the new monarch. 5 was not in a particularly positive in a particularly positive figure in the immediate aftermath of the depth of his strange wife. and he had to rebuild a public image and he did so as prince of wales by casting himself as the loving father to, to grieving sons. he then presented himself as a loving grandfather to her to grubbing brood of, of royal grandchildren. more recently, we have seen him in this more intimate persona, engaging with members of the public more in a more familiar way animal personable way. and i think that walk about earlier the softer noon was absolutely in line with this desire to demonstrate an interest in

affection. for the public. so they rally around him in this, in this moment of difficulty and transition. and it is easy, isn't it? to forget just on the, on the human front despite he's his role and duties right now he is mourning the death of his mother as we speak. and we would expect that in response to the fact that he is a grieving monarch. he is very recently bereaved the that in, at least in the short term, that will be a positive rallying of a public sentiment around him. whether that that last remains to be seen. because as we know, the new king is not as popular as his mother was. so i think this is an ongoing project he is going to have to continue to work to the section on the loyalty of his people. you mentioned his mother that what was it about queen elizabeth that

the nation and indeed people around the world was so endeared by do you think i think people were did to her in many different ways. i've spoken today of elizabeth the 2nd having many different public images. she was a familiar figure. she presented herself as a loving mother to her children as they were growing up, a loving and beautiful wife. she became a loving grandmother and more recently, great grandmother for those people who are part of the christine faith. she was of course, supreme governor of the church of england. she embodied the nation spiritual life. so those abroad, she not only had, if you like a global celebrity image, but she was also head of the commonwealth. and again she, she, she, she really was the center of the organization. really invigorated it gave it meaning. so she's meant many different things to many different people. i think

that part the explains why people were southern ama with her because in many ways we as members of the public, were enabled to project our own ideals on to her what we wanted to see. and how we were able to see her in the many multifaceted roles that she played. and it's difficult to say given the length of her rain. but what's in your opinion, where the defining moments there was so many defining moments. i think the 953 coronation was key, not least because it demonstrated that she was a monarch that was willing to move to the move with the times. she was eventually persuaded to let the cameras into westminster abbey to film to televised live coronation. this was, this was dramatic innovation and what it meant was that members of the british public across the country and people wider afield across the world,

were able for the 1st time to feel as though they were pop dissipating in this, this sacred ceremony. now, as a historian, i studied what that particular that meant to the people of the day. and they talk about how this was a great moment of change, how they felt more included because of the, the monitor making, this ceremony accessible. and she demonstrated a willingness to move with the times throughout her right to embrace new forms of, of technology. only recently, the royal family had its own social media sites developed. we know that the, the royal family have been on twitter. so they've embraced new forms of mass communication as a way of engaging with the, with the british public as a way of keeping up with the times when it comes to engagement abroad. in fact, how do you think she felt about the evolving relationship with commonwealth

countries? which is still evolving today, some would say unraveling, even the story of the commonwealth is a complex one. during the years of apartheid in south africa, the commonwealth was really energized around that issue. didn't get much to, to oppose apartheid. and the royal family we're, we're very, we're very proving i list for the 2nd was extremely supportive of the commonwealth mission, to end racial segregation in apartheid south africa. and yet at times this is a geo political organization that has lacked meaning. i think it was really elizabeth, the 2nd commitment to the, to the commonwealth did so much to keep it together that that, that did so much to keep the, the heads of a government of the commonwealth nations coming back every 2 years for the bi annual meeting that they had and yet more recently,

we have seen that the commonwealth could be fraying the edges. it's already the case. the one of the previous realms of the, of the monarchy in jamaica has, has gone. it is planning on going its own way, declaring itself a republic and detached itself from the monarchy. and there are other relationships that are similarly strained at this particular point in time. i think the new king charles the 3rd will have to determine whether keeping the commonwealth together is worth the huge amount of time effort. energy that was was devoted to it by a list for the 2nd or whether there are more precinct pressing issues. ok back here in britain more i require his attention. ok,

we'll have to leave it at their hands. ro, historic. thank you so much indeed for joining us here on our 0. about madison is outside balmoral castle in scott and rub what's happening where you are now. tonight. what is the evening falls here and the northwest northeast discussion and the people are still coming to pay their last respects to present as of the 2nd, they're bringing flowers, which have been placed outside the gates here at beaumont castle. those files are now about a meter and a half or so deep bow model, of course, at the heart of the wall family. but at the also at the heart of the creed herself from the be a very young girl. she spent most of her summer's here, it's a place the family have felt a private and very relaxed. and of course it was here that credit as a 2nd passed away on thursday evening. we know that immediate members of the family spent last night here came charles, the 3rd i'm the queen, consort, of course,

not in london, the king taking up some of his initial duties as monarch. but of course, also, this is where the coffin containing queen elizabeth the 2nd still remains. now on sunday we understand the coffin that is going to be moved to edinburgh to hollywood, palace and editor. and the following day is going to be procession along the wild mile with the coffin, and it will then be taken to lay to rest briefly, innocent jobs church in edinburgh. there is going to be an opportunity for the public to be able to walk past the cult. and while it's in the church before, it's moved to london and the buckingham palace. but people still arriving here at the council to pay their respects to in many cases the only moment they've ever known. ok, well maybe they're brought matheson. thank you very much for that. now in a televised address, king charles the 3rd pledged to continue her legacy of diligently serving the

people of britain and the commonwealth alongside the personal grief that all my family of feeling. we also share with so many of you in the united kingdom. in all the countries where the queen was head of state in the commonwealth and across the world. a deep sense of gratitude for the more than 70 years in which my mother, as queen, served the people of so many nations as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion. i too now solemnly pledged myself throughout the remaining time. god groan smith to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. to my darling mamma. as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late papa, i want simply to say this. thank you. thank you for your

love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations. you have served so diligently all these years. may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. when aside from a new monarch, there will be other noticeable changes in the u. k. following the passing of queen elizabeth, the words of the british and national anthem will switch from god save the queen to god save the king. the last time that changed was in the 18th century, there also be new coins, bank notes, and stamps featuring the head of the king. old coins and bank notes will remain in circulation until they are gradually replaced over time. and the raw cipher will change, or the monogram used on everything for mail boxes to police uniforms. calculate features the queen stamp below an image of the saint edwards. crown sarah,

good switzer is the author of elizabeth at queen and crown. she joins us from kent, united kingdom, very welcome to the program. what do you think that is the relevance of the monarchy going forward in today's modern britain? well, it's interesting that speech of king charles and how difficult it is not still to say prince charles. really, i think made a pinch for the monarch his future and by the reception i'm seeing a very successful one. it was very much on the one hand, but the other he spoke of his mother's love of tradition, but fearless embrace of change. he spoke of, you know, how we are now a culture of many nation, many different backgrounds. many religions thought, affirms commitment to the church of england. i think that king charles

is going to move very, very determinedly to try and reaffirm reinvent if you like the relevance of the monarchy. i think that job is that should be done. it needs to be done if the monarchy is to survive and thrive. but i think that speech shows he is really quite ready to do it. interesting, you say he's ready to do it. how would he he have a prepared for this row? well, of course he's been a since he's been preparing for this role, his entire life. now the rules of the game have been changing constantly. i think in the last years, even months, almost as it's become apparent that you know, the queen elizabeth's health was failing. but her to some degree, perhaps her grip was slightly weakening. charles, prince charles, as he them was,

came more to the floor with prince william right behind him. and they began, i think, to show the signs of how they would like to reshape the monarchy. a slimmed down royal family. we know that we knew that already, but we saw it very clearly in this speech. you know, he mentioned, we will now become prince of wales. harry was spoken of with love, but his life. and i think he is aware that his mother's tradition of duty and service needs to be honored, continued bought, modified a. he spoke more emotionally than his mother, much done, you know, how he would serve on the speech? was very, very careful. charles is speech to echo princess elizabeth speech at age

21. the one where she said her old life be dedicated to service time and again, king charles is speech echoed the words of that speech from so many years ago. 75 years ago. art. at the same time, you know, it was clear that he does see things as needing to be done differently. and as he saw those pictures, sofa bucking pies and the crowds gathering outside. oh, what will king charles is priorities b, you think? well, i think he's trial rushes are going to be that to a firm and as assert a, in a general way, the continued relevance, all the monarchy. it will be this slim down royal family.

you know, and hopefully a more dynamic looking one he does have a big job to do because the queen of course, queen elizabeth, died at a moment. oh, great change in which we've gone through and demick, we're facing a probably appalling, you know, financial downturn, a new prime minister in this country to cold face only 2 days before the queen died. so really the queen's role as a figure of stability of continuity of reassurance has never been more important than right now. and yet it is at this moment that she's left us. so prince charles has a big job to do, but it is one to which he has been training preparing, thinking,

his whole life. and i feel a lot more a lot more positive than i once did this. he is ready to do it. and how difficult, though, when it be to, as he saves slim down and modernize yet still remain special as it were, is able to continue contradiction that you're yes, that is the juggling act, isn't it? it always has been on the one hand we, we want, we want to see the royal family at close quarters and as like a reflection of ourselves on the other. we do demand for them to be different. we want the form from the ceremony that i think prince charles has, or charles has already thought about very carefully. we've seen a slimmed down finally appearing on the balcony at buckingham palace. he has already made it known that buckingham palace is likely to be ever more the monarch

his office rather than that. and some of these 4 and palaces which look little anacordis strict maybe put to more public service. and tell us about the relationship between queen elizabeth and her son. how strong was it? yeah, that's an interesting question because as we know from the adult comments or prince charles is he was, he was here. he didn't altogether feel that his childhood was, you know, as warm as all chip is. it might have been when he was a young child. of course, his mother was very new to the job, a queen ship and very preoccupied with it. but i think probably in, again, in recent years, off to those, you know,

when the trauma is, all of the war wells is a then you know, the divorce john is that and of charles is comments about his parents. i think probably in recent years the has been a real professional. certainly the queen, careful is always did take queen elizabeth did take care to try and pave the way the child is music session. she ensured she attempted and succeeded in showing his that he would succeed or it had to come and well not ready to row. and she declared that it was her wish camilla should be. charles is queen home. so know this, you know, rather strange. talking to princess consort, and she did that so that charles would have to, it's one less burden for him to have to think about in the early days. he's right.

ok, bear with us just a 2nd. we're going to see if we can just to read out a tweet from liz trust, the prime minister. he says, on behalf of a grieving nation. i offer my deepest condolences on the passing of her majesty. she was the rock on which modern britain was built. the thoughts of this government and this nation with his majesty the king and his family. so just to ask you again, then what do you make of that tweet from the prime minister? i'm sorry, i am not quite sure what to say and she'll be slaves all. so very new to the job. you know, i'm sure the nation so it's all with, with, with, with the new king and his family. let me ask you this,

then is this in totality? the most important moment in this long history of the royal family. oh, in the sense, in one sense, perhaps it is a long history and with a lot of moments in it. but i see what you mean. this is the moment at which some thought it might come to an end. i don't think it looks as though it's going to why did the population of u. k. do you feel feel so fondly towards queen elizabeth? was it her style of monarchy or her character or both? i think he was that sense of duty and just the reassurance that came from her very, very long. right. you know, the fact that she remain essentially the same. it gave us a kind of feeling,

but the world was still turning on the same access axis. ok, royal historian sarah gris would be very much appreciate your time here on al jazeera and your insights. thank you very much. thank you. for thousands of mourners have been gathering out walking in palace and around the nation to pay their tributes to the queen andrew simmons reports. now what's been a day of remembrance and reflection within seconds of king charles the 3rd, arriving of buckingham palace with the queen, consort, came what appeared to be a change in schedule. a walk about the king looking relaxed, accepting the welcoming woods and in the background calls of god save the king. his reign. just beginning after the cheering, the solemnity of viewing tributes ah!

ahead of his arrival at $96.00 guns salute, one for each year of the queen's life. with the u. k. starting a 10 day period of warning, bells tolls not only in westminster, but all over the country. earlier the mood outside buckingham palace was as solemn as it was when the queen's death was announced. a steady stream of mourners, each with some way of expressing themselves. others standing still, frozen in thought, flowers and messages spread out from all over the world. she was known as the grandmother of the nation, but to the people here. they think she was much more than that in the good times exuding charm and fun. in the bad times,

giving comfort and call. she was the longest serving monarch and british history. and with it came a sense of permanence. wilma harris feels that way. i think there really was that whole offensive al, kill it. she what will happen forever? and unfortunately that's not been the case. and i think that will really, really mess and wish that she could carried on with anita corey. and office worker says she still can't take it. we say not like, this is not going to be anyone like her. like, ever, like no one she's, she's to factor. she's forgotten. so high in everyone's kind of eyes. i don't think anyone can, can matching with. i know this feel she unified people and calm them at times of crisis, especially during the pandemic. the impact of just a few was from her tender, central the nation in a way that anything else really can. at this point, i think everyone here as reflecting the same sadness, but at the same time, gratitude for her service. 2 or 3 people.

parliament observed one minutes silence. no politics in this session. only tributes. her late majesty, queen elizabeth the 2nd was one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known. she was the rock on which molten britain was built. the loss of our queen robs this country of it's still his point. it's greatest comfort at precise the time we need those things most. queen elizabeth, the 2nd was an extraordinary woman whose waves from the buckingham palace balcony over 7 decades. but in for all the world, only 3 months ago she was there for the platinum jubilee celebrations. went balcony is empty, standing above a nation in morning. andrew simmons al jazeera london very challenge that has been

speaking with people outside buckingham palace about their reactions to the queen's death. along the roll thoroughfares of london, the crowd control berries have gone up ready for many days of state events. although this is a country national morning, it's not a country that stop though this is a friday, a working day. but still the crowds are coming. they're bringing flowers that bringing that respects with the same atmosphere of affection and reverence that they had when they came as well on thursday night. please keep looking out for your left hand side to call us back and let your flowers. it's a very day. i've only known the queen and my mother was a refugee up to the holocaust. and she came here in 1946. and here for the queen got married and when she was around and, and we've always been really grateful to this country. great leadership with me. thank you very much. i remember i turned it back. why not?

south africa. there was a yeah. way by. she came to south africa. i was very rude and that's such a big day for everyone in south africa, you know, and mandela day to day for everyone that the queen of england has come to south africa after the death of prince philip last year. the whole family tried to discourage people from bringing flowers down to the gates of buckingham palace. they are saying that if you do, you'll be guided elsewhere. so one of the hearts to put your flowers there where you can see that message has not gone through the keys stretching all the way up the road, past the palace. he can't hold the people back. new zealand and australia, both commonwealth nations have been paying tribute to the queen. adrian brown has more from what it in new zealand people moaning the passing of a british monarch who was also them on a, for all,

or most of their lives. prime minister, just inter arden among the thousands of people signing books of condolence. she said, queen elizabeth had been the nations mother and grandmother the last days of the queen's life captures who she was in so many ways working to the very end on behalf of the people she loved. and that is why i'm sure that we will receive the news of her passing with both emotions of deep sadness, but also gratitude for life that was actually and completely devoted to the service of others. the indigenous murray, people of new zealand make up more than 17 percent of the population. some performed hucker to celebrate. and on the queen, her representative new zealand governor general cindy kiro has mary heritage for most new cylinders. queen elizabeth has really been a constant in our lives. she's been here her whole time and she's provided

a still sense of continuity and stability for us. among others, the mood was one of some reflection, sorrow that she'd gone gratitude for what she did. while it's not unexpected, it's always said the family. when the loved one passes away, and the queen's being such a big feature of our lives. but so long a sentiment echoed across the tasman see in australia where the queen was also head of state. she 1st visited both countries as monarch, almost 70 years ago. at the start of her reign, there is comfort to be found in her majesty's own woods. great is the price we pay for love. this is i lost, we feel deeply in australia. queen elizabeth the 2nd is the only writing monarch most of us had known. and the only one to ever visit

a strata. many people in new zealand, dan, australia, woke up to the news actually really in talking. i'm probably going to walk away and cry. i'm going to cry. i know that's crazy, but shops initially size is. i think it today. everyone will remember where they were and what they doing. sorry. yeah, it's huge. into the sunset sky over wellington, how about a $96.00 gun salute? one for each year of the queen's life. she was commander in chief of new zealand defense force. their powerful tribute watched by a large crowd paying their respects to a beloved monarch, adrian brown al jazeera, wellington islands that president michael the higgins, has paid tribute to the queen. he praised her for her historic visit in 2011 to all it will have suffered as a consequence of our trouble past. i extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy.

she was the 1st british monarch to visit the country since his independence a century ago. the trip was praised as a moment of healing ireland for toward independence against britain that led to the country being partitioned from fini is a historian and political commentator. he explains how the queen's death might affect. she ran so long and she was like a constant. and unionist society and union his minds for the community in the north of ireland. there is no great loyalty towards the queen or a date towards britain. however, there is acknowledgement that the queen made a huge efforts in peace and reconciliation. president higgins is referred to her visit to ireland in 2011. she also came to the north of ireland. several times
