After the death of The Queen, tributes began appearing outside many of her residences. Some of these included marmalade sandwiches and Paddington Bear toys as a nod to her appearance in a sketch with the famous bear.
The sketch was part of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June and featured the Queen enjoying afternoon tea with Paddington. This video has inspired a connection between the Queen and Paddington in public consciousness.
The BBC will honour this connection by airing both Paddington Bear films over the bank holiday weekend. The first one will be played on Saturday September 17 at 7pm while the sequel will air on Monday September 19 at 6.50pm, the same day as the Queen's funeral.
