“I know that you will allow me to single out for special mention today one of your most distinguished senators, known in every continent and a great friend,” Brown said. “Northern Ireland today is at peace, more Americans have healthcare, children around the world are going to school, and for all those things we owe a great debt to the life and courage of Senator Edward Kennedy.”
“And today, having talked to him last night, I want to announce, awarded by her majesty the Queen on behalf of the British people, an honorary knighthood for Sir Edward Kennedy,” he said (bending the rules).
