Queen tells UK to show 'British resolve' during pandemic 

Queen Elizabeth II urges people to rise to the challenge of the COVID-19 outbreak, in a rare special address to Britain and nations around the world on Sunday. 

In what royal officials described as a "deeply personal" speech, the monarch says that she has faith that people will respond, despite the difficulties. The broadcast, which aired at 1900GMT, is one of only fifth special addresses that the queen has made, outside of her annual Christmas day message, in her 68-year reign. 

The queen personally thanks frontline healthcare staff and other key workers for their efforts during the crisis.
