Children across the nation pay their respects with Paddington Bears and marmalade sandwiches

As the nation mourns the death of the Queen, her subjects have left touching tributes across the country.

Even the youngest generation were moved to pay tribute – among them two-year-old twins Abigail and Arabella Glen at the gates of Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland.

Outside Windsor Castle, a poignant card depicted the late Queen and Prince Philip walking hand in hand beside one of her beloved corgis, and bore the message: ‘Farewell, Ma’am!’

In London‘s Green Park, among the flowers left by mourners lay a Paddington Bear – a touching reminder of the delightful comedy vignette Her Majesty had filmed for her Platinum Jubilee in June.

In Scotland, at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, one visitor left a copy of Michael Bond’s book Paddington At The Rainbow’s End.
