James Corden remembers the deceased Queen Elizabeth IIheritage.

Hours after Her Majesty’s death, the presenter paid tribute to the Queen in the September 8 episode. Late Late Show.

“I, like the rest of the world, am so sad today,” he said. “But also very thankful and grateful to the Queen for the incredible service and leadership she has shown throughout our lives.”

Reflecting on the Queen’s 70 years on the throne – the longest reign of any British monarch – Corden noted that she had watched 14 US presidents and 15 UK prime ministers with the Prime Minister Liz Truss having been appointed only two days before Her Majesty’s death.

“We considered her an immortal, integral part of our world,” he said of the queen. “Of course, there is an outpouring of grief and love around the world. She was adored all over the world. She represented good in this world, she lived a life of integrity, a life dedicated to service, dedicated to improving the lives of others. But it always felt like she was there for all of us.”
