Paddington Bear joins the Queen for afternoon tea at Buckingham Palace

The Queen and Paddington Bear surprised viewers watching the Platinum Party at the Palace concert by sitting down together for tea in a pre-recorded video. The clip was shown on big screens to the tens of thousands watching outside the palace - and to the millions tuned in across the UK and worldwide. The two and half minute film sees Paddington delighted to learn that The Queen shares his love of marmalade sandwiches, with the monarch even opening her handbag to reveal her very own ready-made snack inside.
