Queen's Christmas speech emphasises reconciliation - BBC

The Queen has used her Christmas Day broadcast to highlight the importance of reconciliation between people.

She spoke of the impact of the Scottish independence referendum, and also paid tribute to the moment German and British soldiers put down their weapons and met on Christmas Day 1914.

"Sometimes it seems reconciliation stands little chance... but the Christmas truce reminds us peace and goodwill have lasting power," she said.  The royals earlier attended church.

In her speech, the head of state said Christ's example taught her to "respect and value all people of whatever faith or none".  More at  BBC
