Paddington Bears that were left in memory of the Queen have been photographed exploring Buckingham Palace before they are given to children in need.

The toys will be donated to families by the Queen Consort at a special “teddy bears picnic” at Barnado’s Nursery in Bow, London next week.

A video, posted by the Royal Family on social media, showed how the bears have been collected, sorted, and cleaned after they were left at royal gates after the Queen’s death.

The bears enjoyed “some light reading at Clarence House” and “explored the Buckingham Palace state rooms”, the video said.

Camilla will hand out some of the 1,000 toys to children supported by the charity Barnado’s, which she is the patron of.

The toys will be delivered to the tea party next Thursday in a convoy of electric taxis. Camilla will be joined at the event by actor Hugh Bonneville and daughter of Paddington author Michael Bond, Karen Jankel.

The other bears will be given to children around the country.

“They are excited to join their new homes soon,” the video said.
