By Queen has tea with Paddington as Prince Charles pays tribute to ‘mummy’
In a heartwarming scene at the Party at the Palace last night, British icon Paddington Bear met her majesty the Queen at the palace for tea.
The sweet exchange saw Paddington thank the Queen for her service, before pulling an emergency marmalade sandwich out of his hat.
Joining in the fun, the Queen then pulled her own sandwich out of her handbag, adding that she was “saving it for later.”
As legendary rock band, Queen took to the stage, Paddington and the Queen tapped along to the well-known beat of ‘We Will Rock You’ on their cups and saucers.

At the end of the night the Prince of Wales paid a heartfelt tribute to his “mummy”.
“You laugh and cry with us and, most importantly, have been there for us, for these 70 years,” Charles said to the crowd of thousands.
He added serving the public was what “gets my mother up in the morning” and thanked her on behalf of the world.
The star-studded concert saw 22,000 people fill The Mall to see performances from an array of music artists, as well as appearances from the stars of stage and screen, and the sporting world.
There were songs from Sir Elton John, George Ezra, Craig David, Duran Duran, Alicia Keys and Eurovision runner-up Sam Ryder, while Sir Rod Stewart’s performance of “Sweet Caroline” had Prince William and his family swaying in their seats.
The final day of the Jubilee celebrations on Sunday will end with a huge pageant near Buckingham Palace.
The Platinum Jubilee Pageant – a carnival procession up The Mall featuring giant puppets and celebrities – will depict key moments from the Queen’s seven decades on the throne.
