温顿在典礼上发表了一番演讲。他说:“我想感谢你们所有人,感谢那些发生在我身上的陈旧往事。我很高兴能有那么多的孩子仍旧好好地来这儿感谢我。“
“England was the only country at that time willing to accept unaccompanied minors. I thank the British people for making room to accept them, and of course the enormous help given by so many of the Czechs who were at that time doing what they could to fight the Germans and to try to get the children out.”
“英国在那时候是唯一愿意接受孤儿的国家。我很感谢英国人民能够腾出地方来接纳他们,当然,被给予如此大的帮助的捷克人民那时也正不断努力抵抗德国人,他们也试着救出他们的孩子们。”
In the same ceremony, the Order of the White Lion was also bestowed on Sir Winston Churchill, given in memoriam to his grandson Nicholas Soames. They are the only British citizens to receive the award, after Margaret Thatcher and the Queen. Presenting the award, the Czech President, Milos Zeman said: “It is a great pleasure to confer this award upon two great personalities of the UK. I am only ashamed it has been awarded so late – but better late than never. Congratulations Sir Winton. This is our highest honour; we cannot do one higher.”
在这个典礼上,为了纪念温斯顿·丘吉尔,还将白狮勋章授予了丘吉尔并由他的孙子尼库拉斯·索米斯代领。丘吉尔和温顿是继英国前首相撒切尔夫人和英国女王之后唯二位被授予该勋章的英国人。捷克总统米洛什·泽曼在颁奖的时候说:“能将这个奖颁给这两位英国伟人是多么荣幸啊。我为奖章颁发的如此之晚而感到羞愧——但是亡羊补牢。恭喜你,温顿阁下。这是我们最高的荣誉,没有比它更高的了。
