Queen Elizabeth had a very special guest for tea.

To kick off Saturday's Platinum Party at the Palace, the monarch made a surprise on-screen appearance, during which she took tea with Britain's beloved children's book and film character Paddington Bear.

"Happy Jubilee, ma'am, and thank you. For everything," Paddington tells her as they jokingly share their love for marmalade sandwiches.

"That's very kind," the queen replied before the pair look out the window of Buckingham Palace as the drum beat of Queen's We Will Rock You is played.
