Tea for two and a sandwich at the Palace

There seems to be a consensus in Britain that the best moment of the Jubilee was Paddington Bear taking afternoon tea with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, after briefly letting himself down by drinking directly from the spout of the teapot, Paddington offers one of his marmalade sandwiches to Her Majesty. The monarch then reveals she has her own marmalade sandwich in her handbag. "I keep mine in here for later," she confides in Paddington.

The Queen and the bear tapping their tea cups and saucers with silver spoons to the rhythm of We Will Rock You was the icing on the royal cake.
