Dr Luke Evans spoke late in parliament on Friday evening

Dr Luke Evans spoke in the Commons at 10:30pm on Friday night to pay tribute to Her Majesty the Queen following her death at the age of 96.

He said that "Bosworth has an affinity and eternal history with the Monarchy. Afterall we had the Battle of Bosworth in August 1485 where we saw the death of Richard III and the crowning of Henry VII so my constituency has a palpable, visible history with the Monarchy and it's still there today."

"To me, it's Queen Elizabeth the dutiful." 

Dr Evans quoted a poem that has been shared on social media.
