Queen Elizabeth II praises workers who fight Ebola
LONDON - Queen Elizabeth II will use her traditional Christmas broadcast on Thursday to call for international reconciliation and to praise medical workers fighting Ebola in Africa.
The queen plans to say she has been "deeply touched" by the "selflessness" of doctors and nurses combating the Ebola outbreak.
Each year the queen writes her own Christmas speech, which is pre-recorded and televised in many parts of the world on the afternoon of Christmas Day. She made her first Christmas broadcast on radio in 1952.
