BBC One has been praised for its decision to air Paddington 2 in a touching tribute to Britain's longest-reigning monarch. The movie is likely a sweet nod to Her Majesty's sketch with the famous bear just three months ago during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The film was added to the schedule on Monday, September 19 following a full day of coverage for the Queen's state funeral. The service took place today at 11am in Westminster Abbey where 2,000 people were in attendance. You can read more on this here.
Welsh presenter Huw Edwards, Kirsty Young, and David Dimbleby led the BBC One coverage which aired from 8am until 5pm and ended with a moving tribute delivered by Kirsty that left many viewers at home in tears. You can read more on this here.
