Saturday's concert to celebrate our Queen's Platinum Jubilee had a wonderful surprise to start the event. The most adorable film of Paddington having tea with Her Majesty but comically misbehaving in his style of drinking tea from the teapot spout. Then the most wonderful part of the sketch of Paddington revealing his secret supply of Marmalade sandwiches in his hat......and to our amusement the Queen opening her handbag and revealing her secret stash of a marmalade sandwich! I sent a copy of the film as televised to Leen & Celine on messenger in Belgium for them to see on waking. Well Sunday morning they called me in fits of giggles that Paddington had visited the Queen ...and caused chaos. Leen had been learning about Queen Elizabeth's reign at school in Belgium and there had been lots speculation at what she kept in her handbag..... :-) now "known" Marmalade sandwiches...I watched in amusement but also quite moved by this film sketch as Paddington has been a companion to Leen in Eleonas camp and part of my Princesses story. I remember taking a Paddington bear with a first baby book on Paddington. The look on Leen's face as she looked at her new friend and then saw he was also on the pages of the book.. So sweet.. if you search Paddington on this blog you will find all the posts about Paddington bear, including a Tribute to Michael Bond the author
