00:47 But I just wanted to say thank you to all the writers who enhance our life.

00:53 We couldn't do without you all.

00:55 As I've always said, reading is an escapism.

01:00 Whatever is happening in your life and you feel it's difficult to cope with,

01:04 you can pick up a book and just go off into another world.

01:08 So if it wasn't for all of you and all the people, the publishers,

01:12 and all the agents who help you put your books on the map,

01:16 it would be a very sad world.

01:18 So thank you all very much indeed.

01:21 And I wish this was being given to me.

01:23 I'm very jealous of the person who's going to pick it up on Sunday.

01:27 And I wish you all the best of luck.

01:29 Thank you very much.

01:31 [Applause]
