Peter Andre has shared the touching moment his children paid respect to Queen Elizabeth II during a visit to London.
The Mysterious Girl singer, 49, took Amelia, eight, and Theo, five to Green Park to leave flowers and cards as their tribute to Her Majesty following her death on Thursday (September 8). Sharing the moment on Instagram on Tuesday (September 13), Peter simply captioned the post: “Paying our respects,” followed by a red heart emoji.
One image shows the two Andre children, who he shares with wife Emily, crouching by hundreds of tributes already left by fellow mourners in memory of the late monarch. He also shared the heartfelt messages the children had written in their cards to the Queen.

Amelia wrote: “Thank you for being such a lovely Queen. I was so sad to hear the news.
“Me and my family will miss you. Best wishes, Amelia Andre.”
Theo’s card said: “Dear Queen Elizabeth, I love you. Love Theo xxx.”
Many fans of the singer commented on the post, both in response to the cute snaps and to share their tributes to the Queen. One wrote: “So very sad, but such beautiful flowers for the The Queen.
“Amazing. Thank you for sharing this Peter.”
Another added: “Omg so sweet bless them xx”
“She lives on in our hearts forever,” said a third.
Last week, Peter shared his own tribute to the monarch, writing on Instagram: “Like many we feel so so sad about this. It has made us very emotional. Very surreal.
“Longest reigning monarch in British history. A true leader. Our queen, but also a mother, grandmother and wife.
“May she rest in peace with her beloved husband.”
Peter joins the swathes of celebrities who have also shared their tributes on social media. This Morning host Holly Willoughby shared the moment her children paid their respects amongst a sea of flowers outside Buckingham Palace on Sunday.
She captioned the image: “Time to reflect and pay our respects… the children wrote the most beautiful words.”
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden said: “I think we all thought our Queen would live forever… Her grace, good humour and indomitable spirit embodied everything that made Great Britain, Great.
“I just can’t imagine our country without her. My thoughts are with her family #godsavethequeen.”
Her Majesty’s state funeral will take place on Monday, September 19 – which has been made a bank holiday – and will be broadcast live on BBC and ITV as both broadcasters make changes to their schedules.
