Paddington Bear teddies visit London's royal residences
- Published

Paddington Bears have been photographed 'sightseeing' around some of London's royal residences including Buckingham Palace.

Paddington Bear became linked with the late Queen after she took part in a sketch with the well-known character for her Jubilee celebrations earlier this year.

Thousands of toys were left at royal residences across the UK after the late Queen's death in September. Here you can see some of them relaxing with a cup of tea and a marmalade sandwich in the Morning Room at Clarence House in London

The teddies had been left by members of the public outside Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.

The bears have been professionally cleaned and Buckingham Palace has said they will be donated to the children's charity Barnardo's later this week.

Camilla will attend a special teddy bears' picnic on Thursday and will personally deliver the Paddingtons and other cuddly toys that were collected.

Buckingham Palace said the teddies were being "well looked after" at the palace, Clarence House and in the Royal Parks nursery in Hyde Park.
