After a legendary reign of 70 years and an iconic life of 96 years, the amazing Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in the history of the United Kingdom passed away peacefully on the 8th of September 2022. The occasion marks great sadness and mourning all around the world and people from all industries and really all parts of the world came together to express their sorrow over the tragic turning of events.
One of the most adorable farewells came from the beloved children’s character Paddington Bear. Padding Bear previously came to meet the Queen on the occasion of her Platinum Jubilee this year in June. The two were seen in a video together as they drank tea and talked about where they hid sandwiches for cases of emergency. The entire skit was hilarious and people were happy to see that at such an advanced age the Queen still had her humor very much intact.
Paddington Bear’s official Twitter handle posted a tweet giving a farewell to the Queen. The tweet was short and to the point and it was actually the exact same words that Padding Bear used at the end of the skit from the Platinum Jubilee back in June.
Thank you Ma’am, for everything.
