Spain's royal family on Friday (October 16) handed out an award to the country's health workers for their part in dealing with the COVID-19 crisis.
The ceremony marking the 2020 Princess of Asturias Awards was held in Oviedo where King Felipe praised medics for their heroism and courage.
“A year has passed since I participated for the first time in this ceremony and I will not forget that October 18, 2019. Because of its meaning and for all the love I received. I am very grateful for it. Also today it is exciting for me to be here again. It is the 40th anniversary of the Foundation and my commitment to it, to the winners and to Asturias is growing firm and solid” In her speech Princess Leonor, Future Queen of Spain, Said.
“I am almost fifteen years old. I follow very closely, like many children and young people my age, what happens in our country. And after not going to school for months, going back to class showed us that we have to adapt to these new circumstances, always hoping that everything will improve” She said.
“But if there is something that my sister Sofía and I have learned, it is the sense of responsibility. Our parents have always taught us this. And I think the young people of my generation are also aware of this. A sense of responsibility that happens by never forgetting the people around us, who love us and whom we love”.
Several health workers and family members attended the ceremony visibly moved by the award.
"Giving up was not an option. We were never heroes, but we did our job the best we knew and could." said doctor Jose Eugenio Guerrero after the ceremony.
The 40th edition of the awards was held with strict security measures to control the spread of the virus. Some winners did not attend the ceremony but gave telematic speeches.
