Prince Charles paid an emotional personal tribute to his mother, Queen Elizabeth, on Saturday during celebrations to mark her Platinum Jubilee, praising the monarch for uniting the nation and continuing to make history during her 70-year reign.

Charles spoke at a pop concert that opened with a comic sketch of the 96-year-old monarch having tea with Paddington Bear and tapping out the tune to the Queen anthem “We Will Rock You” on her china teacup.

“You pledged to serve your whole life — you continue to deliver. That is why we are here,” he said in a message to the queen, who was at her Windsor Castle residence outside London. The Saturday festivities were among a number of Jubilee events that Elizabeth has missed because of “episodic mobility problems” that have caused her to cancel engagements recently.

In the clip on Saturday, she told Paddington she always kept the Bear's favourite — a marmalade sandwich — in her ever-present handbag.
