Paddington And The Queen

 The world is in mourning with 

the passing of our Queen,  

her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

A remarkable lady who gave

her life of service to the people.

May she rest in peace, eternally reunited 

with her husband, Prince Philip.

You have probably seen the comical skit with 

Paddington Bear and the Queen Elizabeth

 having tea, during celebrations,

 for her 70 yrs of service.

I'm sharing my little story,

hope you enjoy it.

When visiting London during 2018,

we used the underground/metro a lot,

passing Paddington Station.

I had never heard of

 Paddington Bear.

On our flight home, the Paddington 

movies were playing on the airplane.

My daughter encouraged me

to watch them. 

That same year before Christmas;

I usually mail across Canada to my

Grandsons, their Christmas gifts and

include a stuffed animal with it.

I searched for Paddington Bears 

and couldn't find any.

We were deep in the Pandemic,

the world had shut-down and 

 we were limited to services.

 So I send substitute bears.

In the mail, Christmas Eve, 

I receive this adorable bear from   

my niece, Linda in Mississauga.

Such a delight and surprise,

 that I could blog about him,

Although I wish it were in happier

times and not the passing of

Her Majesty, our Queen.

Paddington is a live action

animated film. (fairy tale)

The story of a Peruvian bear

who  arrived in London on

a cargo ship and finds himself

 lost in Paddington Station and the

bear is taken home by a British family

and given the name Paddington Bear,

after the Paddington Station.

He experiences a lot of misadventures,

trying to avoid a museum taxidermist.

A movie enjoyed by children and adults.

*******

With a heavy heart we say our

final farewell and thank you to

our Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

I also want to wish our new king,

  King Charles III

best wishes as starts his reign.

Long live the King.

Thanks for your visit.
