Michael Palin, 75, has been knighted in Britain's New Year's Honours List.

The comedian becomes the first member of the Monty Python show to receive a top honour after fellow star John Cleese previously declined, describing the system as “silly”.

For many, ’A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols’ from King’s College, Cambridge, is when Christmas begins.

Listened to by millions of people around the world, it starts with a chorister singing the first verse of ’Once In Royal David’s City’.

The priest who introduced this service to King’s College Chapelexactly 100 years ago was Eric Milner-White.

He had served as a military chaplain in the First World War. Just six weeks after the armistice, he wanted a new kind of service, which with its message of peace and goodwill, spoke to the needs of the times.

2018 has been a year of centenaries. The Royal Air Force celebrated its 100th anniversary with a memorable fly-past demonstrating a thrilling unity of purpose and execution.

We owe them and all our Armed Services the deepest gratitude.

My father served with the Royal Navy during the First World War. He was a midshipman on board HMS Collingwood at the Battle of Jutland in 1916.

The British fleet lost 14 ships and 6,000 men in that engagement.

My father wrote in a letter: “How and why we were not hit, beats me.”

Like others, he lost friends in the war. At Christmas, we become keenly aware of loved ones who have died, whatever the circumstances.

But of course, we would not grieve if we did not love.

Closer to home it has been a busy year for my family.

With two weddings and two babies, and another child expected soon, it helps to keep a grandmother well occupied.

We have had other celebrations too, including the 70th birthday of the Prince of Wales.

Some cultures believe a long life brings wisdom. I’d like to think so.

Perhaps part of that wisdom is to recognise some of life’s bafflingparadoxes, such as the way human beings have a huge propensity for good, and yet a capacity for evil.

Even the power of faith, which frequently inspires great generosityand self-sacrifice, can fall victim to tribalism.

But through the many changes I have seen over the years, faith, family, and friendship have been not only a constant for me but a source of personal comfort and reassurance.

In April, the Commonwealth Heads of Government met in London. My father welcomed just eight countries to the first such meeting in 1948.

Now the Commonwealth includes 53 countries with 2.4 billion people –  a third of the world’s population.

Its strengths lie in the bonds of affection it promotes, and a common desire to live in a better, more peaceful world.

Even with the most deeply held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding.

Indeed the Commonwealth Games, held earlier this year on Australia’s Gold Coast, are known universally as the friendly games because of their emphasis on goodwill and mutual respect.

The Christmas Story retains its appeal since it doesn’t provide theoretical explanations for the puzzles of life.

Instead, it is about the birth of a child, and the hope that birth 2,000 years ago brought to the world.

Only a few people acknowledged Jesus when he was born, now billions follow him.

I believe this message of peace on Earth and goodwill to all is never out of date. It can be heeded by everyone – it’s needed as much as ever.

A very Happy Christmas to you all.

The Prime Minister's statement in full:

"I have just chaired a meeting of the Cabinet, where we agreed that the Government should call a general election to be held on June 8.

"I want to explain the reasons for that decision, what

 will happen next and the choice facing the British

people when you come to vote in this election.

"Last summer, after the country voted to leave the European Union, Britain needed certainty, stability and strong leadership, and since I became Prime Minister the Government has delivered precisely that.

"Despite predictions of immediate financial and economic danger, since the referendum we have seen consumer confidence remain high, record numbers of jobs, and economic growth that has exceeded all expectations.

"We have also delivered on the mandate that we were handed by the referendum result.

"Britain is leaving the European Union and there can be no turning back. And as we look to the future, the Government has the right plan for negotiating our new relationship with Europe.

"We want a deep and special partnership between a strong and successful European Union and a United Kingdom that is free to chart its own way in the world.

"That means we will regain control of our own money, our own laws and our own borders and we will be free to strike trade deals with old friends and new partners all around the world.

"This is the right approach, and it is in the national interest. But the other political parties oppose it.

"At this moment of enormous national significance there should be unity here in Westminster, but instead there is division.

"The country is coming together, but Westminster is not.

"In recent weeks Labour has threatened to vote against the deal we reach with the European Union.

"The Liberal Democrats have said they want to grind the business of government to a standsill.

"The Scottish National Party say they will vote against the legislation that formally repeals Britain's membership of the European Union.

"And unelected members of the House of Lords have vowed to fight us every step of the way.

"Our opponents believe that because the Government's majority is so small, our resolve will weaken and that they can force us to change course.

"They are wrong.

"They under-estimate our determination to get the job done and I am not prepared to let them endanger the security of millions of working people across the country.

"Because what they are doing jeopardises the work we must do to prepare for Brexit at home and it weakens the Government's negotiating position in Europe.

"If we do not hold a general election now their political game-playing will continue, and the negotiations with the European Union will reach their most difficult stage in the run-up to the next scheduled election.

"Division in Westminster will risk our ability to make a success of Brexit and it will cause damaging uncertainty and instability to the country.

"So we need a general election and we need one now, because we have at this moment a one-off chance to get this done while the European Union agrees its negotiating position and before the detailed talks begin.

"I have only recently and reluctantly come to this conclusion.

"Since I became Prime Minister I have said that there should be no election until 2020, but now I have concluded that the only way to guarantee certainty and stability for the years ahead is to hold this election and seek your support for the decisions I must take.

"And so tomorrow I will move a motion in the House of Commons calling for a general election to be held on the eighth of June.

"That motion, as set out by the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act, will require a two-thirds majority of the House of Commons.

"So I have a simple challenge to the opposition parties, you have criticised the Government's vision for Brexit, you have challeneged our voters objectives, you have threatened to block the legislation  we put before Parliament.

"This is your moment to show you mean it, to show you are not opposing the Government for the sake of it, to show that you do not treat politics as a game.

"Let us tomorrow vote for an election, let us put forward our plans for Brexit and our alternative programmes for government and then let the people decide.

"And the decision facing the country will be all about leadership. It will be a choice between strong and stable leadership in the national interest, with me as your Prime Minister, or weak and unstable coalition government, led by Jeremy Corbyn, propped up by the Liberal Democrats - who want to reopen the divisions of the referendum - and Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP.

"Every vote for the Conservatives will make it harder for opposition politicians who want to stop me from getting the job done.

"Every vote for the Conservatives will make me stronger when I negotiate for Britain with the prime ministers, presidents and chancellors of the European Union.

"Every vote for the Conservatives means we can stick to our plan for a stronger Britain and take the right long-term decisions for a more secure future.

"It was with reluctance that I decided the country needs this election, but it is with strong conviction that I say it is necessary to secure the strong and stable leadership the country needs to see us through Brexit and beyond.

"So, tomorrow, let the House of Commons vote for an election, let everybody put forward their proposals for Brexit and their programmes for Government, and let us remove the risk of uncertainty and instability and continue to give the country the strong and stable leadership it demands."

Kísérletképp a londoni metró Holborn állomásán a mozgólépcsőn már nem kell a jobb oldalra állni:

- But at Holborn Station they've been trying something different / De a Holborn állomáson valami újjal próbálkoznak.

- By standing only, 30% more people could travel on the escalator / Ha mindenki csak áll. 30%-kal több ember tudja egy időben használni a mozgólépcsőt.

- It was such a success at Holborn it will be in place for 6 months from April - Olyan nagy sikere volt ennek a Holborn állomáson, hogy áprilistól kezdődően 6 hónapig ez a rendszer lesz a gyakorlat

- But some commuters are not convinced: / De néhány utas szkeptikus:

- "So banning people walking up escalator at Holborn will be quicker. Surely making everyone walk would be even quicker" ./ "Szóval, ha megtiltjuk a gyaloglást a mozgólépcsőn, akkor gyorsabb lesz a közlekedés. Na persze, de ha mindenkit gyaloglásra köteleznénk az még gyorsabbá tenné."

- "No! I get really antsy if I can't run up on the left, escalators are so slow." / Jaj, ne! Nagyon bosszús vagyok, ha nem tudok a bal oldalon felszaladni, a mozgólépcsők olyan lassúak."

- "But, but how do we know who the tourists are then? How can we avoid getting behind them at the barriers?" / Akkor honnan fogjuk tudni, hogy kik a turisták? Hogy tudjuk elkerülni majd, hogy a hátuk mögé kerüljünk az ellenőrző kapuknál?"
