Congolese women pays respect to Queen Elizabeth II

 

Two friends that stay in Democratic Republic of Congo, who moved to the UK in 1995, have paid their respects to the Queen in London, describing the late 96-old monarch as an inspiration.

"To see a powerful woman doing her work has make me to be strong. Even when I was weak, if I think about Queen Elizabeth I used to say: ‘No I must be like that woman’,” Jenny Angbroise told the Donpinlins Global Resources Focus on Africa radio programme.

"She’s a role model, she’s a mother also. That’s why I’m here to pay my respects to her," add Joyce Goodwin Tamina.

Ms Tamima said she used to be a chief in her Congolese village and a member of a Congolese royal family, and is present to represent her whole family.
