She spoke after exchanging per- sonal greetings with her husband. the Duke of Edinburgh. now travel- ling on Commomvealtlt business in the South Pacific. She had a mes- sage of hope and encouragement for all who are separated from loved ones on this occasion. and especially for those who have been driven from their homes by war or violence. ”We call them refitgees. Let us give them a true refuge; let us see that for them and their children there is room at the inn".
