May 12, 1992 - Queen Elizabeth II of England has, for the first time in forty years of reign, visited the Council of Europe and the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

Referring to Winston Churchill and Jean Monnet - in French in the text - the Sovereign, in an almost full hemicycle, welcomed the efforts "unique in the history of the world" made since the war to bring together "the family European”.
