A toy Paddington Bear and a marmalade sandwich, a nod to Queen Elizabeth's association with the children's book character at the Royal Jubilee, laid outside the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, on September 11, 2022.Many mourners have been leaving Paddington-inspired tributes to the queen across parks and elsewhere, with stuffed bears, balloons, clothing, character-covered tea pots, ornaments, notes and marmalade sandwiches — which quickly become moldy.
"In the interests of sustainability, we ask visitors to only lay organic or compostable material," Royal Parks says on its website."...We would prefer visitors not to bring non-floral objects/artefacts such as teddy bears or balloons."
