‘Hello again, Lilibet’: Touching cartoon tributes depict the Queen reuniting with her beloved Prince Philip and walking into the sunset with her corgis and Paddington Bear
Emotional social media users have shared poignant tributes showing the Queen reuniting with her beloved Prince Philip and walking into the sunset with Paddington Bear.
One image which has particularly touched online users today is a sketch which shows the Queen and Prince Philip with their arms around each other looking into the distance.
Her Majesty is flanked by her late husband and one of her corgis as they sit on a blanket together.
An inscription underneath the cartoon reads: ‘Hello again Lilibet’, alluding to the after-life reunion of the pair, married for more than 70 years.
Last night, Paddington Bear paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II just a few months after they warmed the nation’s hearts with a hilarious afternoon tea sketch at ‘Buckingham Palace’.
The image, shared by Instagram user ‘murphy’s sketches’ was flooded with comments under the post, including ‘this is just beautiful’ and ‘this has set me off again’.
Another cartoon shared widely on Twitter shows the back of the Queen, dressed in her familiar emerald green coat and hat holding hands with Paddington bear.
Alongside them, again one of the Queen’s corgis follows, wrapped around loose British bunting and a train of fallen marmalade sandwiches.
The widely shared cartoon was also edited by various different users to include different inscriptions on the image.
On one, it read in the voice of the Queen: ‘I’ve done my duties Paddington, please take me to my husband’.
Another, from the perspective of the bear, said: ‘Don’t be frightened Ma’am… the world will be holding your hand.’
The cartoon tributes follows the famous sketch the pair did to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee earlier this year.
In the video, the monarch and the bear sat down over a cup of tea in Buckingham Palace to enjoy their favourite marmalade sandwiches, as Paddington thanked the Queen for everything she had done.
Last night, Paddington bear shared a tribute of his own on Twitter to mark the Queen’s passing.
To echo his word’s in their famous sketch, he said: ‘Thank you Ma’am, for everything’.
Additional Paddington bear memes were shared on Twitter in similar tone, with one sketch showing the bear tipping his hat in respect.
The inscription read: ‘Farewell Ma’am’.
