The palace announced that over 1,000 Paddingtons and teddy bears will be professionally cleaned before they are donated and delivered to Barnardo's children charity. Elizabeth had a close connection with Barnardo's, and Her Majesty in 2016 passed the patronage of Barnardo's to the then-Duchess of Cornwall.
The palace also announced that, with help of Shire horses and almost 200 volunteers, it sensitively cleared out the tributes. The hope is that the bears will be loved for many years to come by children supported by Barnardo's. Queen Elizabeth and Paddington Bear have a sweet history.

In the sketch, Elizabeth sits across Paddington as they are about to embark on an afternoon tea. Paddington looks up and says,"Thank you for having me. I do hope you're having a lovely Jubilee.
