Elizabeth II and … Paddington Bear

Also not attending the event was Elizabeth II, who had been experiencing mobility issues in recent weeks. For this reason, her participation in the jubilee celebrations is very limited. However, the Monarchini did not succeed to the audience at the concert. Immediately before the show, a 2.5-minute film with her participation was broadcast on the screens, in which she drinks tea with Paddington and shares sandwiches. Then they both tap tea spoons on their cups to the beat of the Queen’s song “We Will Rock You,” which opened the party.

The spot referred to the film in which she starred with Daniel Craig as James Bond for the 2012 London Olympics.


Tender words of Prince Charles

During the ceremony, Prince Charles paid tribute to the Queen. The heir to the throne addressed her from the podium with the affectionate “Mama,” to which the crowd responded with cheers. You laugh and cry with us, and most importantly, you have been with us all these seventy years. You have committed to serving all your life – and you continue to do so. Elizabeth II’s son said you are still making history.
