BBC mocked for announcing 'shock' news that Paddington Bear isn't actually real

A BBC presenter has been mocked online after announcing that Paddington Bear is - in fact - not actually real.

An insight into the Queen's life was being shown on screen and the subject of her much-loved Platinum Jubilee performance was raised by a reporter. In one of the clips, Her Majesty and Paddington are enjoying a cuppa as he wished her a "lovely Jubilee" as she celebrated her 70th year on the throne.

The sovereign and Paddington pulled out their respective Marmalade sandwiches as the iconic British character said: "Thank you... for everything" after he turned up for tea at the Palace. For many, it was the highlight of the summer celebrations and, following the Queen's death on Thursday, the heartwarming clip has been played around the world again, writes The Mirror.
