1. Thank you -- loved it!

[DURHAM D]

2. She can still surprise us.

Every time I see her I think about the fact that she spent more time in the military than all the Trump generations combined.

[wryter2000]

4. She sure did

I hope we never inflict another W or Trump on her or any of the royal family. I imagine the Obamas must have sent their congratulations.

[maryellen99]

6. Here you go!

[NBachers]

12. Michelle recorded a lovely and heartfelt tribute to the Queen, too. I'm looking for a link . . .

[wryter2000]

3. That's adorable

Whoever thought of that?

[tblue37]

5. Very cute. I wish I could hear the dialogue.

[SheilaAnn]

7. Me too, I'm hard of hearing and my PC is not the greatest on sound. n/t

[orleans]

15. dialogue:

Paddington: Thank you for having me. I do hope you’re having a lovely Jubilee.

Queen: Tea?

Paddington: Oh yes, please!

(Butler clears throat as Paddington keeps chugging down the tea.)

Paddington: (realizing the error of his ways) Oh. Terribly sorry.

Queen: (after the last drips from the pot fall into her cup) Never mind.

Paddington: (mumbles after putting paw down on a dessert) Oh dear. (After a moment) Perhaps you’d like a marmalade sandwich. I always keep one for emergencies.

Queen: So do I. I keep mine in here. (Lifts sandwich from her purse.) (Paddington gasps.) (She drops it back into purse.) For later.

Butler: The party’s about to start, Your Majesty.

Paddington: (Tips hat) Happy Jubilee, Ma’am. And thank you…for everything.

Queen: That’s very kind.

(The crowd begins clapping in a bum-bum-bum/bum-bum-bum rhythm. The Queen taps out the rhythm using her spoon on her teacup; Paddington joins her in doing the same.

[SheilaAnn]

33. So kind of you to do that, greatly appreciated.

[tavernier]

34. The rhythm they were clapping was

We Will Rock You by Queen, and at the actual anniversary Queen appear on the steps of the palace and continue singing the song.

46. Sheila

They now have hearing aids that are hooked up to your TV. Many Insurance companies now pay for them and a bill was passed for buying them OTC, cost much less. I was shocked when mine were connected. Sound on TV turned down by half. I have people asking me to turn the TV up,just a little.

[SheilaAnn]

51. Thank you for the info, I most definitely will look into it. Thanks again. n/t

18. Thank you so much!

[DURHAM D]

20. Thank you for doing this. nt

[BlackSkimmer]

8. Fantastic!

Love it!

[In It to Win It]

9. That's extremely cute

[Rebl2]

10. Pretty cute!

[tavernier]

11. And she's a Queen fan!

I knew the old gal had good taste!

[SunSeeker]

22. Right?

[StarryNite]

13. That is just too darn cute!

[MerryBlooms]

16. r&k ❤

[COL Mustard]

17. I'm certainly not a Brit....

But I’ll be sad when London Bridge falls. She is quite the presence.

[Hekate]

19. Not sure why that brought tears to my eyes, but they make a grand pair

happy Jubilee

[colorado_ufo]

21. Adorable!

[Raine]

23. So SWEET!!! 👑🧸💕🇬🇧 nt

[IronLionZion]

24. Poor Paddington Bear was a bit nervous

We Will Rock You!

[SergeStorms]

30. Her great-great-grandchildren will enjoy it.

And further down the Royal line when those events take place.

How many kids can say their great-great-grandmother knows Paddington Bear on a personal basis, and occasionally has tea with him?

Bragging rights are cool even in their circle of friends.

[canetoad]

25. This answers the question

What does the Queen keep in her handbag?

[peppertree]

31. God's unlisted phone number

And Altoids, of course.

Helps with boredom whenever tiresome heads of state and other dignitaries come calling.

[True Blue American]

48. Strong antiacids when Trump visited, and dark glasses to

Shield her eyes from the glare of his white waist coat. Didn’t Trump have one person to help him dress?

[peppertree]

52. Absolutely.

Definitely one of the most cringeworthy moments in the Rump Regime.

[MetalMama]

26. So adorable

Thank you for sharing this. I'll definitely have to show it to my mother. She likes the queen very much.

[peppertree]

27. "That's quite alright dear. Even if that ghastly oaf Trump did the same thing."

"At least you're cute."

[True Blue American]

49. LOL!

[Kingofalldems]

28. Nice tea set.

[Evolve Dammit]

29. I'm tearing up. That is so sweet!

[dflprincess]

32. It's nice she's been able to loosen up a little and show her sense of humor

(and she is said to have a wicked one). The "James Bond" skit of for the Olympics, this one, and the promotion she, Harry, & the Obamas did for the Invictus Games in 2016

[TomWilm]

36. Even in my country we have such living relics from a darker time ...

Though I enjoyed the video, I hope her castle soon get nationalized and her enormous wealth spread among the peasants, whose work her family so grossly has enriched themselves by for generations. Take a hint from France, and make a republic!

[ShazzieB]

38. I'm an American, so I don't feel that it's any of my business.

As far as I'm concerned, what the UK decides to do with its royal family or the monarchy in general is up to the UK. I'm not British (although one set of my grandparent were), so I don't get a vote, nor do I want one.

[DURHAM D]

39. I should resent the monarchy given that Henry VIII beheaded

a couple of my great grandfathers and incarcerated my great grandmothers and took their property more than 400 years ago but I don't. The Brits need the monarchy to keep tourism alive.

[TomWilm]

44. In Denmark, they falsely claim it is amazing for export to meet our royalty ...

... but any statistic are proving them very wrong. There is absolutely no measurably effect of putting our Queen in front of an effort to sell more stuff to another country. The soon coming kings younger brother is now permanently living in France, with the main job to front Danish arms sales - with very little success. Even though the selected Danish target for selling weapons to is failed states like Pakistan, and until recently Belarus and Russia...

Though I am all for doing it for the tourists, but since the Danish monarchy is very corrupt, they should be fully funded directly by them. They could pose in front of the castle with a tin cup, begging for money.

[bdamomma]

37. That is great

Such a great lady.

[tanyev]

40. "For later"

[moondust]

41. Splendid.

Very well done.

[hunter]

42. England as a Disneyland tourist destination is much preferable to the bloodthirsty empire.

About half my ancestors landed in America because the English wanted them dead.

Nevertheless I enjoyed this.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

43. Loved it!

She’s such a sweetheart.

[dawn5651]

45. i watched this last night. her sense of humour is wonderful

[Vinca]

47. I never thought I'd call the Queen adorable, but that was adorable!

[Novara]

50. Totally adorable!

[Master_Monstruwacan]

53. "Royalty"...bloodsucking leeches

Bloodsucking leeches having tea with stuffed animals. Good grief.

[DURHAM D]

54. Thanks for the kick. nt

[The King of Prussia]

55. And of course in real life

Her Majesty's Government would be trying to deport Paddington to Rwanda.

[BlackSkimmer]

58. Lol!

Bless your heart.

[treestar]

62. Was waiting for this post

I knew it would come up eventually.

[Zen Democrat]

56. I'll give you that the Queen is cute, but aren't all 96 year olds cute?

Because of her age
I'll give her a pass
But as to the rest
"Out on your ass!"

I can't stand to hear them talk about the "working royals." What a joke! Their work consists of attending garden parties, charity events, various teas, receptions, horse races, dog shows and smiling. For that they are paid millions each year out of of the UK treasury. And, face facts, Elizabeth's level and above are all inbred. Their progenitors include murderers, thieves, baby-killers, traitors, "kings" beheading their wives, torturing their brothers, and starving their nephews.

They snubbed Harry and Meghan who didn't have to go to London at all, but did so to honor Harry's grandmother. "No senior "royal" attended the birthday party for Lilibet. Not the Queen, and not even Louis. No. Just the kids of "non-working royals."

What a pretentious bunch of privileged pricks! I hope Harry and Meghan NEVER go back, except for Grannie's funeral, if then. The British monarchy will be on very shaky ground when she goes. Charles the Human Tampon, Camilla the Rottweiler, William the Philanderer, and Kate, poor Kate who will be screwed around on and pretend to like it. The UK may keep the monarchy only if the "royals" pay their own way. It's pretty clear that once she dies, Scotland is going for independence. That will be just the beginning of the crumbling of a very sick system.

My sincerest hope is that Harry does write that book the "royals" are so afraid of.

[BannonsLiver]

61. Yes

I could see where a country that had traditions that don’t center around mass shootings, proud willful ignorance and diabetes could be hard for Americans to wrap their heads around.

[Wild blueberry]

57. Absolutely adorable!

Funny and charming.
Thank you,

[beaglelover]

59. That was a cute skit. Overall I thought the whole concert was

Very enjoyable and well produced.

[Midnight Writer]

60. Is it just me, are do you get queasy seeing a crowd of people waving flags and cheering

outside a government building?

Wonder what brought that feeling on?

[calimary]

63. I'm just glad she's lived to see this tribute.

Just imagine - 70 years on the job, a very high-level and high-exposure job! And not a wrong step all the way along. Not a Brit, nevertheless I’m totally taken with her!

[Guilded Lilly]

64. She is simply the Best ❣️👑

65. This makes me smile

69. How cute.

Thanks for posting.

68. The follow-up Tea with Boris Johnson didn't go nearly so well
