She was in her grounds probably Scotland having a picnic when two American tourists came over and sat down with them, they asked the Queen if they had ever seen the Queen, the Queen said she hadn’t but he had ( her police bodyguard), he said I’ve met her a couple of times and she can be quite tricky. The American couple asked if they could all have a photo together for their holiday snaps. After they had gone the Queen said I wonder how long it will take for someone to say THAT IS THE QUEEN!

I am a Brit and watching this makes one realize how much we as a nation miss the Queen. She was a sense of security and continuity. She did have a sense of humour. The clip of her jumping out of the Helicopter was London 2012 Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games. It went down well here and in the rest of the world too.

i remember when the news announced her death they immediately played a short video going through her life from birth, to serving in WW2, to her being crowned, basically hitting all the milestones and for her and the country, and at the end they put the clip of paddington thanking her and it was like a second gut punch 5 minutes after the first.

Our Queen was a wonderful woman. She was no fool, but she could always afford a twinkle in her eye. Loved her all my life.

The 2012 clip was from the Olympic opening ceremony. Paddington was created by Michael Bond in a series of Children's books in the 1950s, and has been a staple of British childhood ever since (he starts out trying to help, but his well-meaning efforts generally lead to disaster, with hilarious results). In 2014, the first film was made - for the grandchildren of his original audience - and critics believed that the CGI Paddington was well worth the wait. His story is that he came from Darkest Peru, and appeared at Paddington Station with a label reading, "Please look after this bear," and was subsequently adopted by the Brown family. He was named after the station as his original name can only be pronounced in Bear. A poignant moment in the film is where he first meets Mr Gruber (a junk-shop owner, who is a fast friend in the books), and we get a hint of the reason why someone with an obviously German name is living quietly in the Portobello Road (London has ALWAYS been a place of safety for refugees). Oh, and welcome back.

That's right, and it so happened that The Queen and DoE coincidentally had an engagement that wasn't too far away the same day, so they made a point of attending the wedding. I remember seeing a photo in the newspaper of the couple with The Queen and DoE in their wedding pics.

For decades, it's always been questioned, what the Queen kept in her handbag. As a joke, she decided to admit to Paddington that she always kept a marmalade sandwich in it. This was her platinum jubilee celebration, which I believe was the second from last time she was seen on TV before she passed away.

I lived in Windsor and saw a lot of the queen and Royal family as i attended a lot of the local equestrian events. The royal family used to just wander around and without realising you would find yourself chatting to them. She was a funny lovely woman and she felt more like a grandma than my own.

I missed you. Glad to see you back. Queen Elizabeth was very witty. I remember the story about the Queen visiting someplace and a lady said to her ‘Wow, you look just like the queen’, to which Elizabeth replied ‘well that is very reassuring 😂’

the Bond sketch was from the London 2012 opening for the olympics :-) you can actually buy that still if I remember and if I remember that whole sketch was her contribution to the idea :) she always loved a good laugh

Simply put and still missing her, she was everyone's grandmother, the only Monarch most of us have ever known until now. So it was with tears I watched this as her loss is still felt deeply, but she will always be remembered with love admiration and total respect. The helicopter scene for the London Olympics was so well done, and the tea with Paddington was beautiful to watch and I am sure her Majesty enjoyed doing it and the end result. Hopefully now no more disasters come your way I think you have had your share for a while dear. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖💖💖

She had a sense of humor that was second to none Bless her 🙏.

I do miss our Queen. I can't watch Paddington without tearing up

The Queen jumping out of the helicopter, was a secret for the opening ceremony of the London Olympic games . And the paddington sketch was for the 70 year jubilee party.

HRH had an amazing memory and remembered people for years, through serving I met her a few times, since I was a boy and my father was serving. "Oh hello, I know you, you're Sgt Jock's boy, how is your father". I was amazed. We both served in the Black Watch. My grandson passed out last May 18 generations in the same army, but the Black Watch is no more, our boy is in the Royal Highlanders.

Iam from Germany but i have to say: I miss her. She was a constant in my whole life. A rock in troubled times which never changed. In my eyes she was the last real noblewoman.

Prince Philip also had a sense of humour. Upon seeing a young man open a car door for a girl, he said "it's either a new girl or a new car".

Welcome back, and thank you for sharing such lovely memories of our late Queen!

The one with the Queen parachuting is from the 2012 London Olympic games opening ceremonies. It's also worth watching for Eric Idle appearing in it to sing Always Look on The Bright Side of Life

By all accounts of those actually close to her she was funny as hell, a very skilled mimic, talked with her hands constantly, and had opinions on everything. Making it more remarkable that she never lost it in public. The Bond jump was during her Diamond Jubilee in '12. Buckingham Palace is set in 39 acres.

@pureholy is correct. The drive was apparently more like a rally race than anything else. Queen Eluzabeth II worked on ambulances in WWII and was a superb driver. One recurring quip was her asking drivers that if they wanted to sit in the back and wave she'd happily drive.

Buckingham palace has a 39 acre walled garden including a lake, but it’s all at the back and people only get to see it if they are invited to the garden parties or go on one of the summer palace tours.

Paddington is a bear from Peru who was found on Paddington Station and adopted by a family called the Browns. The books were a part of our childhood.

Happy you are back, you brighten so many lives, with your little clips and take on our British heritage, even though you are American.

The clip with James Bond was from the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics and the queen didn't tell William and Harry beforehand. When it went in close, nobody could believe it really was her and not a double and when it looked like she parachuted, Harry shouted "Go Granny". The other clip with Paddington was from the Platinum Jubilee last June and we all got an extra day off work for it.

The moment they parachuted from the helicopter, Sarah that was the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. With best wishes from Wales.👍

Sorry to hear of your recent misfortunes, hope your neighbours are safe and well and that Violet isn't suffering from the turmoil to badly. Paddington Bear usually goes over the heads of Americans due to it being a so very an English thing, her Mag was famous for her sense of humour, often as dry as a good gin. The parachute anctics with Daniel Craig (James Bond) was from the London Olympics opening ceromony. Yes ceriously! Anyhow good to see you back.

Paddington is from the children's books written by an author called Michael Bond who is no longer with us. If you get to watch the Paddington film from 2014 there is a scene where Paddington is walking past a restaurant and waves to a man inside who raises his wine glass to Paddington. The man in the restaurant is Michael Bond in a cameo appearance in the film.

Former protection officer Richard Griffin shared a hilarious anecdote during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of when Her Majesty encountered two American tourists while walking in her Scottish estate - who failed to realise who she was. Speaking to Sky News, he said that she had been out for a stroll on the grounds of Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, dressed in a head scarf and tweeds. "There were two hikers coming towards us and the Queen would always stop and say hello. It was two Americans on a walking holiday and it was clear they hadn't recognised her, which was fine. "The American man asked her if she lived in the area to which she replied that she did indeed have a house nearby. "She said that she lived in London but had a house just over the hill, and he asked how often she had been coming up here. "She said she'd been coming up for more than 80 years and you could see the cogs were ticking. He said: 'Well if you've been coming up here for 80 years, you must have met the Queen?' "As quick as a flash, she said: 'Well I haven't but Dick here meets her regularly.' So the guy asked me what she was like. And because I was with her a long time, I could pull her leg, so I said she could be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour. "Anyway the next thing I knew, this guy comes round, puts his arm around my shoulder, and before I could see what is happening, he gives his camera to the Queen and asks her to take a photo of us. "Anyway, we swapped places, I took a photo of them with the Queen, we never let on and we waved goodbye. Then Her Majesty said to me that she'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows these photos to his American friends and hopefully someone tells him who I am.

One of my favourite stories/anecdotes ❤

glad to see a video from your channel pop up, sorry you've had a rough few months but looking forward to new content. ive seen you mention Paddington bear a few times but no one ever really seems to provide the cultural significance of it or why its a such a big thing here. originally a series of children's books in 1958 Paddington became huge in the era of rebuilding post WW2 where the idea of a young character who travelled to an unfamiliar place and struggles to adapt to his new home captured a lot of peoples imaginations being directly inspired by the massive displacement of children during the war, from Jewish children escaping the Nazis to English children being evacuated to the countryside during the blitz. "In the first story, the middle-class Brown family found Paddington at Paddington railway station in London. Paddington was sitting on his suitcase with a note attached to his coat that read "Please look after this bear. Thank you." Bond has said that his memories of newsreels showing trainloads of child evacuees leaving London during World War II, with labels around their necks and their possessions in small suitcases, prompted him to do the same for Paddington."

Good to see you back. My favorite line from the queen, is from report that were release after her passing where they discussed her repatriation back to london on an RAF transport plane. She said. If it good enough for my boys, the it good enough for me"

You need to see the Paddington bit in full - the best clip is one that includes what the crowd were seeing on the screens. The Olympic opening bit - obviously it was an expert parachutist in a pink dress, but they landed with pinpoint accuracy down behind a screened-off bit in the stadium - then after a suitable pause "to take the harness off" Her Majesty makes the entrance. The best thing is that her family never knew she was going to do this until it happened ! Edit- the crowd POV for paddington is at kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKeDxqpxhdLQibg.html

Although there have been several responses to the the inclusion of Paddington Bear and James Bond, interacting with the Queen for comical effect. Unfortunately, none have mentioned, how their inclusion in this compilation video were short, edited versions of what was actually broadcast. The Full versions are no doubt on KZread, for you to fully enjoy if you wish. Good to see you and Roger back again!

Welcome back S.!. All those clips are parts of longer video's. - Paddington and the Queen. The Queen and James Bond. You should watch the complete things really. The Bond and Helicopter jump was at the opening ceremony for the London Olympics in 2012. It was nice when the camera caught her more relaxed side, rather than the formal, though she never let herself put a foot wrong by going too far. Think the sundial incident was part of an hour long documentary with Attenborough. I suspect when it was originally placed, it wasn't surrounded by trees. She was on the throne for a very long time.

That was the opening of the London Olympis

The thing she did with Daniel Craig was for the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony. A little bit more on that. During the Olympics the BBC interviewed Princes William and Harry and the interviewer asked them a question about the Bond skit. I believe it was Prince William who replied that the Queen had told them that she was going to be the next Bond Girl. Another little example of the late Queen's sense of humour.

Sarah it is wonderful to have you back. You have been sorely missed. Queen Elizabeth II had an interesting life. Her early life was one of extreme privilege and very protected. She had no idea she would be Queen until she was about 12, when her Uncle rejected being the King. It must have been a huge strain on her. She has always taken her duties extremely seriously and put a lot of effort into the job. We British are a strange lot. I am on holiday on the Isle of Wight & Global warming has passed us by. It is quite cool & damp today. There is quite a lot going on in the Isle of Wight, which is a bit of a backwater. But it is the start of Cowes week, an important yachting event. Here in Ventnor we had Morris dancing ( mostly men, strangely dressed, wearing lots of bells and beating sticks ) . There were some Spaniards by me, looking most bemused. I will see if I can upload some of the clips.

The Bond clip was the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics. You can find the whole thing on You Tube.

I can't help but cry every time that Paddington thanks the Queen for everything

Paddington Bear (as seen in that sketch) is from two movies, which you MUST see! 'Paddington' was the first, in 2014 - then followed up with 'Paddington 2' in 2017. They're both great films - charming and very funny!

I really miss her! I was lucky enough to meet both the Queen and her husband Prince Philip when I was invited to one of her famous Summer Garden Parties at one of her royal residences. What an amazing day, she truly was a lovely woman. She was really funny, and quick with it too!

Great to see you back, There's many other great moments from the London 2012 Olympic opening and closing ceremonies worth a watch, in particular Mr. Bean and Eric Idle also (best seen if you've already watched Monty Python's Life of Brian). There was a lot of pessimism in the UK befoee the Games such as our Olympics even attempting to be grander than the Beijing ceremony of 2008, but it took a different direction and filled a lot of great humour, I don't think comedy had really been an association of Olympic ceremonies much before, it was filled with British pop culture, comedy and music. Even the Olympic cauldron lighting is unique, an individual flame for every participating nation.

Paddington bear 🐻 was really good for teaching children about moderating their respective unruly behaviour like snatching or taking things like food from the table without asking. Paddington always made mess with his marmalade sandwiches he loves so much he often has some in his trusty case. My Paddington bear books were some of the very first words I learnt to read & the illustrations have stayed with my memory like it was yesterday I was eating my marmalade sandwiches and reading Paddington bear books to.

Great to see you again, SoGal! I've not had quite the same trauma as you, but have been moving house (to a village that has no guide book, sadly, but it does have a postbox dating back to the reign of King Edward VII, the late Queen's great-grandfather) so I can empathise with the problematic and worrying nature of events. The Queen had a great sense of humour and, because of her role in public life, a natural presence that saw her perfectly fitted to 'stage' work, as in the two clips that started and ended this. The Paddington sketch was done for the Platinum Jubilee in 2022 and tied into the live concert outside the Palace; the James Bond sketch was part of the opening ceremony for the London Olympics in 2012, also the year of her Diamond Jubilee. There was a documentary about the Queen in the early 1990s - "Elizabeth R" - which has recently resurfaced on KZread, so if you want more of a glimpse into the world, life and character of Her late Majesty, that would be a good one to watch.

The helicopter clip was the opening of the 2012 Olympics in London, would be a great reaction for you to do (in sections !) ... Scarlett seems to have "slimmed" down a little, she looks great, worried but great ! ... Knew you'd get the job ☺ well done and you've got Scarlett's portrait on your desk 😊... you look great as well Sarah 😊 ... Your street seems to have been in the wars, that's God saying "don't abandon your disciples Sarah" ! 😉☺ ... Glad you're all safe, it's tough on your neighbours hope they insured

Good to see you, Steve!

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but still, it's great to see you back on KZread! 🥳🎉 I remember the press reporting her quip to Justin Trudeau in 2015 as a bit of "royal cheek", or words to that effect. I think at one point, she also made a joke about something he did as a child when she visited Canada to sign the new constitution in 1982, when his father was Prime Minister.

Welcome back! Love your hair. Of course we all want to watch you!

Missed you. Good to see you back on KZread. London😊
