in many ways a yes or been because she became a queen 5 years after india, not independence in 1947. and she came to india 11 years later. now her 1st visit was the in a 1961 and she talked about the warned that hospitality of indians. and she also talked about the richness and diversity of in there. but she said was an inspiration to people like her. so the next visit then, once in 1983, and that's the day when the commonwealth heads of government were meeting here in delhi. and that was also the time that she famously gave mother theresa and ordered of married. and at that time, in the right dandy india's a female prime minister was a bear. and it was wonderful to see the speeches leaving seeing and recent hours of the 2 strong, competent and elegant ladies, obviously enjoying each other's company. and a final visit been to india was in 1987. and that was that india was marking 50 years of independence. and that's when the queen, for the 1st time,

acknowledged the colonial history between the 2 countries. and didn't see talk to much difficult episodes of colonial history. and mentioned specifically a famous massacre, a genuine, a bang. so obviously she had acknowledged that and that meant a lot to be below india and breathe if you have any personal memories of the quick well actually i have to, you know, when i was of a little girl, i was obviously quite kind of mesmerized. but the whole royalty thing, so wrote a letter to the queen asking about her and asking for a photo. obviously i didn't get a reply back from her, but i did get a reply from her lady in waiting saying she'd been instructed by her majesty to thank me for my letter. and the 2nd or so it was actually a much later when i was a student and that's it. and the 2nd time or benefit of the student in england at oxford university. and she was our chief guest at a rod scanners function. so i remember that you came by and you know, we were all dazzled by have vain, neon colored outfit. she just won't ask me,

but prince philip, he stopped by and exchanged a few words with me, but that wasn't good enough for me. i had wanted to talk to the queen and read or tell me what is the commonwealth now without queen elizabeth, the 2nd i think must be we will say quite diminished because many people felt in the com and was that she was the glue that held this grouping together because people had boston regard for, even though some people feel that this whole commonwealth things a bit outdated, but they felt the didn't she is there that this organization was what been a member of now, but things are changing also in india, as we saw just very recently, and the indian prime minister, you re named the street just behind me, was court kings way earlier, linked with the colonial bass. it's now been named the path of duty. and what he said, the prime minister was india has got rid of a symbol of slavery. so you see that there's a great desire here in this government to get rid of the colonial legacy. and i'm

sure that will also have an impact on india's links with that. and with that, with the commonwealth, i made a jamie for us in delhi. thank you very much. reaction to the queen's passing have been pouring in from around the region, singapore leda, lease and long described. elizabeth, the 2nd is the very heart and soul of the u. k. taiwanese president, sy, in when said her country remembers and celebrates her life of leadership and service, which set an example for people around the world. and japan's prime minister whom yoke is shita also paid tribute to the queen for strengthening ties between his country and the u. k equal me. no, he not as this is a huge loss, did it not only for the british people, it will also for the international community. great colors for you know, japan will be with the people of britain in overcoming this deep sorrow. but when you leave us, china has also offer condolences, but the queen's passing is more acutely felt in hong kong. the british ruled the
