created by Eleanor Tomlinson. She has a website.

Zoejory Tue 07-Jun-22 13:42:42

She does, Mollygo! I have ordered a print of this gorgeous picture.

I think it's wonderful

I loved the Queen and Paddington tea party skit, particularly their beating time with their tea spoons to " I will Rock You ".
She showed such a sense of fun, This picture is delightful and joyous and obliquely shows the affection she is held in.
Thanks for sharing it.

Just great, even down to the Royal bright green coat and hat on her last appearance. (thanks)
Loved it

What a lovely illustration.
I'd love to know if it's available to buy in some form.
A unique souvenir of the occasion.

Oops just saw the mention of artist. Is it available anywhere other than Facebook, I don't use FB.

She is inundated with orders for JUBILEE MA'AMAL ADE TEA and there will be several weeks wait

Do hope someone at the Palace sees that.

Happysexagenarian Tue 07-Jun-22 14:34:07

Thanks for that. Just ordered one.

Rosalyn69 Tue 07-Jun-22 15:13:28

This is brilliant.

Nannapat1 Tue 07-Jun-22 15:20:07

It's called 'Jubilee Ma'amalade tea' drawn by artist Eleanor Tomlinson. I think it's brilliant as was the sketch with Paddington.

GrammaH Tue 07-Jun-22 15:21:30

It's a wonderful picture by a very talented artist. I'm sure Her Majesty will see it as it's absolutely everywhere at the moment, it's really captured everyone's imagination

lilydily9 Tue 07-Jun-22 16:00:42

Absolutely brilliant!

SiobhanSharpe Tue 07-Jun-22 16:09:41

I ordered one too, it's not the numbered edition print, that has sold out, but she is doing an open print line now.
She warns it take a few weeks to arrive, she has been inundated with thousands of orders.
(Deservedly so. Captures the spirit of the Jubilee perfectly. )

Mine Tue 07-Jun-22 16:44:01

Amazing...Made me feel all teary...Ordered one as well...Thanks so much to the OP for this thread...sunshine

Susieq62 Tue 07-Jun-22 16:52:28

I have ordered a copy as I love it so much and I am not into royalty at all !

OliverZach Tue 07-Jun-22 17:40:26

So gorgeously sweet! ???

I saw that lovely picture on another site with this poem

After the Party
“Well,” said the Queen to the little bear “where do you go from here”
“I am not sure your majesty” Paddington bear answered with a tear
“You see the Browns have all grown up and gone on their separate way”
Paddington continued “I am now homeless as I have nowhere else to stay”
“Well, my little friend” the Queen replied to him “this will never do at all”
“I too am all alone you can move into my palace I’m sure we will have a ball”
The little bear looked up and asked “will there be marmalade dear Queen”
Of course, she replied “the biggest spread of sandwiches you’ve ever seen”
“And cups of tea and crockery that you can drop and I will never never mind”
The little bear replied “your majesty I accept your offer you are very very kind”
By John Sullivan
