Paddington Bear has remembered Queen Elizabeth II following the monarch's death on Thursday (September 8). Sharing a tweet online, the fluffy animated bear thanked The Queen for her record seven decades on the throne.
Many will remember the adorable segment which was aired before the Jubilee concert, at Buckingham Palace. It saw The Queen sit down at a table opposite a clumsy Paddington Bear in the iconic palace just before the BBC's Party at the Palace.
In the sketch, the animated children's character was seen having tea with Her Majesty and offering her a marmalade sandwich. Millions around the world were delighted to see the pair on TV, seeing The Queen enjoy another rare moment in front of the cameras, much like her segment with Daniel Craig as James Bond before the 2012 Olympics.

In the adorable video, the clumsy bear showed Her Majesty what he hides underneath his hat - one of his beloved marmalade sandwiches. And the Queen confided "so do I" as she opened her handbag and said: “I keep mine in here.”
The Peruvian bear congratulated the Queen on her 70-year reign, saying: "Happy Jubilee Ma’am. And thank you for everything.” And she replied: “That’s very kind."
The Queen was the nation’s longest-reigning monarch, serving as head of state for more than 70 years, celebrating her Platinum Jubilee in June. The Prince of Wales is now King, having acceded to the throne immediately on the death of his mother.
