Late Queen thanked for 'everything she's done' in touching BAFTA Awards tribute
The Late Queen Elizabeth II was thanked and praised in a touching BAFTA TV Awards 2023 tribute.
During Sunday night's awards show, the Memorable Moment Award went to Paddington Bear having tea with the late Queen during the Platinum Jubilee: Party At The Palace celebrations.
In June 2022, a sketch showing an afternoon tea between Paddington and the Queen was featured during Party at the Palace.
On the chaotically wholesome lunch date, Paddington accidentally splattered a cream scone on a butler’s face, before revealing he had a marmalade sandwich stashed away under his famous red hat for safekeeping.
The Queen then pulled out her iconic black handbag to reveal that she had a marmalade sandwich of her own hidden away.

Almost a year after the sketch was released, it won an award at the BAFTA TV Awards.
Simon Farnaby, who played a footman in the video, accepted the accolade and thanked the Queen for her contribution.
"She had a very joyful Jubilee tea that day," he said.

While the crew who worked on the sketch took to the stage, a CGI Paddington Bear could be seen in the audience clapping for the winners.
Fans were feeling emotional watching the moment and took to social media to praise the 'beautiful speech'.
