Woman from Peru carrying Paddington Bear weeps as she meets Charles and William

King Charles and Prince William delighted crowds during a surprise visit to queue to see the Queen lying in state yesterday.

They greeted hundreds who had waited through the night - including Yela Alvarado, who had been queuing for 12 hours armed with a Paddington Bear brought all the way from her native Peru when they arrived at Albert Embankment, south London.

Her friend Wende Hernandez, 43, had brought the cuddly bear 6,000 miles from their home city of Lima when she arrived to stay with Yala and her sister Yoshi Bunch last month.
