The swathes of Paddington Bears left in tribute to the Queen could be left in storage for months as a decision is made on their future.
Mourners were asked to stop leaving the bears and wrapped marmalade sandwiches, inspired by the Queen's friendship with Paddington, due to the risk they could pose to wildlife.
The special connection between the couple continued when they took part in a heartwarming sketch during her Platinum Jubilee earlier this year.
