Her Majesty, 93, said in her moving speech: “As dark as death can be – particularly for those suffering with grief – light and life are greater. 

“May the living flame of the Easter hope be a steady guide as we face the future.”

It comes as the death toll for the UK today reached 9,875, with 917 new deaths in the last 24 hours and a total of 78,991 cases.

The Queen recorded her Easter audio message from Windsor Castle where she has been isolating with the Duke of Edinburgh for three weeks.

The recording is the first ever Easter message from the Queen, who this year had to cancel her Maundy Thursday ceremony at St George’s Chapel, at Windsor Castle.

The monarch continued in the pre-recorded message: “Easter isn’t cancelled; indeed, we need Easter as much as ever.”

It came after the Queen did a televised address to the nation last Sunday, which urged people to stay united in the fight against coronavirus.
