The jubilee has been bittersweet hasn't it. We won't see much more of the Queen ever again.

Best part of the evening - loved it!!

The Queen beating out We Will Rock You on a teacup. With Paddington.

Perfection.

Oh yes I agree this was just absolutely perfect.
The Queen and Paddington 💗

How sweet!

bloodyunicorns · 04/06/2022 22:44

Yep. Great stuff. She looked like she was really enjoying it too. Shades of Daniel Craig in 2012. Wonderful.

Fantastic start to a great show

Mouldyfeet · 04/06/2022 23:00

It’s lovely but its not really her. I think some on here think it is 😂

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/06/2022 23:03

I HATE that bear so much. So yabu.

Mouldyfeet · 04/06/2022 23:03

Oh I’ve not been watching the jubilee only seen a clip. It really looks like her face is imposed on!!

leotardrock · 04/06/2022 23:04

Loved it! ❤️

Topseyt123 · 04/06/2022 23:04

I loved it. 😃

It's DEFINITELY Her Majesty! It was brilliant and made me cry. The footman was one of the Dirt Sharks from Detectorists!

I'm not a huge fan of Paddington ... but come on ! How can you not like. Her comedic timing is 2nd to none.

QEII & Charles are both supposed to be great mimics in private.

Of course it's her, why do you think it's not?

Cactuslockdown · 04/06/2022 23:20

Was that separate? It's not in the clip linked to the OP.

Highlyquestionablehoumous · 04/06/2022 23:25

It did look a bit CGI but they wouldn't do that would they? If she wasn't on for doing the scene then they just wouldn't have bothered with it at all.

I thought it was great, but I know what people mean about it being a bit sad too. Very soon it really will be the end of an era.

colouringindoors · 04/06/2022 23:26

Still can't quite believe it was actually her!

PomRuns · 04/06/2022 23:28

Loved it. I agree, bitter sweet, will be so unsettling when the time comes.

You hate Paddington? The little bear? Voiced by the lovely Ben Whishaw?

Hesma · 04/06/2022 21:24

It was fab and shows her cheeky sense of humour… perfect cameo

Completely agree! I loved it and really felt it showed the queen and her humour perfectly.

Surely no one can hate Paddington. Maybe if you have only watched the films but if you read the books as a child I refuse to believe you can hate him.

I thought the back of the footman's hair was a bit untidy until I realised who it was 😂😂

At least he had his clothes on 😂

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/06/2022 23:34

I don't hate the book Paddington Bear, I hate the film bear.
