I like to imagine Paddington had his “elevensies” today with his best friend, Mr Gruber, who escaped the Hungarian Revolution as a refugee in the 1950s. They likely bonded over their shared experiences as immigrants living in London, and found the humour in how peculiar the British can be when it comes to their nationalistic tendencies and blissful hypocrisy during such grandiose celebrations as this weekend’s.
“It’s my firm hope that my grandmother’s words are as true in 70 years as they are tonight, that as nations we come together in common cause because then there is always room for hope.” The Duke of Cambridge speaks at the #PlatinumPartyatthePalace
The Queen drumming out we will rock you with a spoon on a teacup with Paddington is the most unexpected and brilliant thing I’ve seen all weekend. Love it
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee “Party at the Palace”
In an amazing event, the front of Buckingham Palace was turned into a giant IMAX screen, some of the world’s most famous singers performed, a drone laser light show (and it had to be a tea pot pouting a cuppa!)
The Queen enjoyed her own cup of tea at Buckingham Palace, broadcasting her fellow tea companion.
