<br>Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Excellencies, Swedes, people of Stockholm, friends,<br>Losing a loved one is the most terrible thing that can happen in a person's life.<br>I have thought so much about those of you who on Friday lost someone you loved more than anything in the world.<br>You now carry with you the memories - of conversations, looks, laughs - alongside your unfathomable loss.<br>I just want to say this: you are not alone. Our thoughts are with you. Sweden is with you.<br>* * *<br>And so many people have done so much for their fellow human beings in the last few days.<br>Sweden's brave police officers. Our highly skilled emergency services. Our fantastic medical professionals.<br>And all of you who discovered the hero within you, who offered help and consolation.<br>We cannot thank you enough.<br>Your actions make Sweden proud, and are a testament to people's incredible capacity in times of adversity.<br>You put me in mind of the following lines by priest and author Anders Frostenson:<br>"Our own wounds are healed when we heal the wounds of others. Bowed down by burdens, we are carried.<br>From the solace I gave another, solace my own heart received. In going to one who needed me, I came home."<br>So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.<br>You were put to the test. You stood firm. You have the gratitude of an entire country.<br>* * *<br>And I know that we will get through this as we in Sweden have always done: together.<br>The strength, the resolve, the steadfast values that Sweden has demonstrated in the last few days can never be taken from us by a murderer.<br>Our unity will always be stronger than the forces that seek to tear us apart.<br>Our way of life will never be suppressed.<br>Our democracy will triumph over fundamentalism.<br>* * *<br>Friends,<br>Sweden, Belgium and the United Kingdom stand together in mourning the citizens we have lost.<br>Our three countries have suffered horrendous acts of terrorism. But we have also seen the strength, determination and power of our democratic societies.<br>We will never surrender to terror. We will get through this, together.
