Across the unprecedented wave of tributes and homages to Queen Elizabeth II there has been one figure amongst it all that has stood out almost as much as the monarch herself: the familiar and beloved character of Paddington Bear.

The most recent collaboration came this year as part of a tribute for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. In a comedy sketch to launch her televised Jubilee concert, Paddington and Queen Elizabeth II sit down in Buckingham Palace together, sharing afternoon tea, some bear-induced clumsy chaos, and naturally, marmalade sandwiches. Now considered one of the most memorable parts of the Jubilee celebrations, the video has just over 10.2 million views on YouTube.

This image has now become synonymous with the Queen’s passing, with the picture circulating widely with various heartfelt captions and even being turned into commemorative tattoos.
Some might find it difficult to make a correlation between the two figures. After all, one is a bear from Peru who often finds himself in sticky situations because of his blundering nature and the other was a dutiful head of state with an unwavering sense of responsibility. But it’s not hard to see the connection, either. Paddington Bear, a character that is without a doubt firmly in the ranks of some of the most well-known and loved British culture, is almost as iconic as the Queen herself.
