You must have heard about the Queen meeting a couple whilst out walking on one of her estates (others will describe it better) She was with one of her security officers but they didn't recognise her. They asked if she had met the queen thinking she was a local. Apparently she replied 'No' then referring to her escort, 'but he has' One of my favourite stories.
It was at Balmoral with an estate worker. The tourists asked the Queen for a photo with the man who had met the Queen, which she took - she was an excellent photographer - and he then suggested he take one of the couple with the ‘lady’. Apparently after the couple left the Queen and the estate worker had a good laugh imagining what would happen when the couple showed the photos to the folks back home.
When she was young she became a military ambulance driver/mechanic, and over the years she rode horses, armoured vehicles, tanks, she fired serious military-grade artillery, and was about the most badass female leader in the western world. I'm proud to have been one of her loyal subjects. Even in her nineties she was cool!
The only Monarch in a 1000 years to partake in a real war. I only learnt when she died. I respect her even if I oppose Monarchy system. I thought like most it was a double who jumped but her grandson Prince Harry and William affirmed it was very real and very much her.
You missed the best part of the Paddington sketch where they both tap out Queens we will rock you on the teacups. Then Queen (the group) start the 70th jubilee concert. Best introduction a group could ever get.
The brilliant bit, was that she kept it secret from her entire family so when they were watching it with the rest of the crowds, you saw the shock and delight on all of their faces, particularly Prince William's young children.
I'm from the UK, and yes, the Queen had an amazing sense of humour. You may be interested to know that the (very tall) steward in her room at the beginning of the James Bond sketch was her actual steward ( not an actor) and had the privilege of walking in front of the gun carriage ( black suit) which took her coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.
Or, as Boris Johnson himself said, “Seen off her 14th Prime Minister (him) and seen in her 15th”. As least she managed to see that bit of business concluded before calling it a day.
That sketch with the Queen and Bond was filmed for the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London. They asked Buckingham Palace for permission to do the sketch with an actress, but the Queen insisted on doing it herself. Mr Bean was in the ceremony as well and was hilarious.
There was a long standing rumour in the 90's that she had wanted to voice herself in the film The BFG as she used to read it to her grandchildren when they were small.
My grandad was a master decorator and his firm (Sandersons) were the Royal decorators. He was at Windsor Castle painting gold leaf on to a ceiling rose and looked down from the top of the scaffolding and Her Majesty was down there watching him. She said hello and would he like to take his lunch now,she wanted to talk about the work he’d done. He proceeded to share his doorstep sandwiches and flask of tea with Queen Elizabeth II and chatted and laughed with her for 20minutes. When he told us,our jaws collectively hit the floor. He had two further meetings during work and always said afterwards that she was a very polite normal woman and showed genuine interest and this was not uncommon as she had similar chats with most of the staff working there. One of us. RIP Your Majesty,our Queen.
I’m a former Guardsman, and I was lucky enough to be inspected by Her Majesty as well as guard Buck, St James, Windsor and The Tower countless times. There are countless stories about various guardsmen meeting the queen; one of which was on a hot day at Windsor she was known offer drinks to her soldiers. She was fond of her Grenadiers.
I live in Scotland, not far from Balmoral and I was always so proud of the fact that the Queen loved it there. In fact, she barely holidayed anywhere else. We all thought of her as a neighbour and treated her with normality and we got to witness her sense of humour countless times. I'm going to miss her so much, the thought of her never coming back here fills my eyes with tears but she is with her beloved Philip now and knowing that there are tributes such as this one will fill her heart.
Summer holiday Sundays getting up early to get parked at Crathie church to wait for the queen and her family to go to church. My great grandfather was a cabinetmaker and provided and repaired furniture and soft furnishings for balmoral, birkhall and other Scottish royal or family residences. Mum remembers going into balmoral to help her grandfather hold the tape measure when she was little. I just remember being bored waiting! Then we would go to check the family bee hives at dinnet and have our picnic then in to Banchory for afternoon tea.
@@julia2jules I loved Banchory as a kid!! but my favourite place to go on a hot Summer day was Potarch. Paddling about in the shallows with my fishing net...those were the days. Going into Aberdeen and looking for Rob Roy's statue so I could marvel at how far he'd jumped haha!
Honestly, her majesty jumping out of a helicopter and parachuting with James Bond was the most memorable part of the 2012 olympics opening ceremony for me. It was obviously a stunt woman doing it, but by god was it entertaining.
The last scene is heart breaking. I feel like she knew. I love in the past couple of years of her life, she was so carefree and happy. The nation adored her and we were her comfort blanket. I could see your emotion; you’re a decent man brother. We need more like you. 💙
She is our biggest most loved National Treasure and always will be . That last one had me in floods of tears and I havent yet cried 😢 she was funny too xxx
The fact that you got emotional at the end of that paddington sketch shows you are a top bloke 👏 you and the rest of us shate that emotion...keep doing what you do mate and one day we will have to campaign for and sort you out with an honoury UK citizenship. 👍
I'm a 60yr old londoner and my dad's an Irish 90yr old 'londoner' and all we've ever known was the Queen since her coronation. Very sad as she was always a staple in the background. Her sense of humour is legendary 😁
The paddington sceene is like her final send off, paddington said it all from us all, "thankyou for everything" , to have only happened 3 months ago its like she knew her time was close. Brings a tear everytime! God bless our queen
She truly was a totally amazing lady wasn't she? I smiled through most of this because her deadpan sense of humour is/was so endearing, but the Jubilee bit at the end with Paddington proper made me tear up. I think this is the first time I've cried since hearing about her dying. We'll certainly never have another monarch like her and last Thursday was truly the end of an era. Rest in peace, ma'am. If anyone deserves it, it's definitely your good self. 😥💔
That last bit just got me in the feels. You’re 100% correct when you say the Queen is all most of us have ever known. I was in Trafalgar Sq on Wednesday when they were moving her from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall to lie in state and will be going into London on Monday for her funeral.
I get teary eyed every time Paddington Bear tells the Queen 'Thank you ma'am for everything". It was just a couple months before her death and takes on greater meaning now.
The Queen was much liked for her thoughtfulness and humour and it felt like she was part of everyone's family . On occasion I worked on the Britannia and the crew loved her .
A little poem by Joanne Boyle The poem goes like this: Phillip came to me today, and said it was time to go. I looked at him and smiled, as I whispered that “I know” I then turned and looked behind me, and seen I was asleep. All my Family were around me, and I could hear them weep. I gently touched each shoulder, with Phillip by my side. Then I turned away and walked, with My Angel guide. Phillip held my hand, as he lead the way, to a world where King’s and Queens, are Monarch’s every day. I was given a crown to wear or a Halo known by some. The difference is up here, they are worn by everyone. I felt a sense of peace, my reign had seen its end. 70 years I had served my Country, as the peoples friend. Thank you for the years, for all your time and love. Now I am one of two again, in our Palace up above.
She did a remarkable amount of things on her own & someone once randomly came across her , not actually believing it was her and said 'You look just like the queen'. She replied with 'people are always telling me that'. Love it!
One story I've heard: at some point a foreign Prince was visiting from a country where women weren't allowed to drive. The Queen apparently greatly enjoyed driving him around her Balmoral Estate at alarming speed, to the point where he was begging her to stop. And another: the Queen was meeting Martin McGuinness, formerly a leader in the IRA, which at once time had planned/attempted to assassinate various government ministers and members of the royal family, and HAD assassinated the Queen's cousin Lord Mountbatten (though it was never proven that McGuiness was personally involved). He asked if she was well, or words to that effect. Her response: "Well, I'm still alive."
Apparently she used to walk down lines of guardsmen and sometimes she would say to one " you have dropped something" and when they took no notice she would repeat it and when the guard looked down she " you all always fall for it" now that's away to show you have a wicked sense of humour
For me she was a major symbol of stability, no matter what was going on in the world she was there and she led by example. She will be sorely missed and I fear the UK may have lost a major part of it's identity with her passing.
Thank you for another upbeat video and always so full of love for our beloved Queen. Methinks you loved her as much as us! Just got back from seeing her lying in state in Westminster. Waited in the queue with thousands upon thousands of others for 10 hours - such respect and shown and the thousands of police and volunteers did a superb job. I remember actually thinking that I wished you had got to experience it with us here. Thanks again
Hi JT. It is lovely to remember the Queen's impish sense of humour. The country is just very quiet and sad, yet full of pride. Her Majesty is now lying in state in Westminster Hall. It is beautiful. Her coffin is covered by the royal standard. On top, on a purple cushion sits the most beautiful crown. The sceptre and orb are there along with a wreath of white flowers. Some people have been queuing since Monday to pay their last respects. She is guarded by soldiers who stand with swords pointed down and heads bowed. The line of people waiting to say goodbye was 4.5 miles long, the last I heard. People are filing past for 2 4 hours a day. Your Lizzie is a very loved lady, JT. I thought you might like to what is happening over here.
The Queen took great delight when she heard that a world leader from one of the Middle Eastern countries, actually believed the Queen parachuted down into the Olympics opening ceremony! 😂
Our Queen always tried to make sure she always had a smile when in the public eye. And it wasn't just for show. Her Majesty was my boss from 2005-2010 & although l, & many before & after me took & oath to bear true allegiance to her (which means so much to us), she also gave the same oath to us. And that meant so much to her. She'll be sadly missed by all..
Apparently she went into one of the shops near the Sandringham estate that had recently been bought by new owners. The woman behind the counter looked at her and said "Gosh, you look just like the queen!" And she replied " That's very reassuring...." Love it!
My husband served on the Royal Yacht Britannia where he took place in the sod’s opera …. He was in a lineup of lads dancing River Dance in kilts, Wellington boots and a bright yellow curly wig … she, apparently, was in tears with laughter, as were the young Princesses Beatrice and Eugenia … that’s just one of many meetings …. She certainly has a great sense of humour 😅
Thank you for doing a lighthearted video today. I can’t believe you haven’t seen the James Bond clip. No one else could have pulled it off, only Her Majesty.
If you walk through the parks of London now you will see lots of flowers. Lots of condolences letters and lots of marmalade sandwiches in sandwich bags with the words ‘For Later xxx’ written on them. 😞
the clip with Daniel Craig, aka James Bond, you can see the queen smile just after she says "Good Evening Mr Bond" I bet she's thinking "I've always wanted to say that"
God it feels so raw to lose my Queen. She shines brightly on all her thankful subjects. I will miss her majesties smile for the rest of my life. Our unifier, our hope. Sweet dreams Ma’am. Thank you. See you tomorrow for one last time. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Our Queen always had a jam ( you call it jelly) sandwich everyday bless her .I'm not looking forward to Monday, it's going to be so sad 😞. Thank you for the lovely memories and giggling moments with our Elizabeth ll 😊
The Queen, being a mechanic during the war was a very adept driver. When the Saudi Prince was on a state visit, considering women weren't permitted to drive there at that time, she surprised him by climbing into the driver seat of the Range Rover he was in. The theory is that she wanted to prove how backward the saudi views on women driving were and that she took the Saudi Prince on quite the joyride, speeding through her estate filled with bumpy and windy roads. The Saudi Prince was said to be terrified the entire way, asking the Queen several times to slow down and focus on the road. She really did have a cheeky sense of humour.
Well this is the time you need a tattoo that incorporates something with the Queen or the dates she was alive! Incredible woman incredible life! God Save The King....
What is fall season in UK? By the meteorological calendar, the first day of autumn is always 1 September; ending on 30 November. The seasons are defined as spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August), autumn (September, October, November) and winter (December, January, February).
Our late Queen so inspirational she took a vowel at such a young age and kept it, got stuck in during the 2nd world war as well did her family not wanting to leave during the blitz, may she rest in heavenly peace with her loved ones, And for now good save the king and long live the monarchy X
I have been following for quite a while and I must thank you. You Sir are a Gentleman. You define all that is Good in all Americans and for that I thank you.
Michael Bentine told one of my favourite stories about the Queen. She and Prince Phillip were at a country fair in Australia where various competitions had been won and were talking to the winners. The overall winner of the lumberjacking competition was apparently well hydrated (slightly drunk) and may not have been entirely sure who the nice couple he was talking were to when she congratulated him on his win and asked him how much wood he could move in an hour. "Well Ma'am- about a fucking ton I reckon." he replied. At this point all the local dignitaries who were hovering around her and turning red in their suits and ties, the wives in their coats and the mayor in his robes of office promptly turned white and stood paralysed whispering to each other. "Did that ocker just say fuck to the Queen?" "I think he did- I think he said fuck to the Queen!" "He did I heard him- he said fuck to the Queen!" "What are we going to do?" "What can we do? Can we have him arrested?" "...Can she have US arrested?" Prince Phillip, who was a Navy man of course and was never going to be bothered just said, "Steady on old chap." "Well OK" said the lumberjack, "but at least half a fucking ton!"
One of my favourite stories of her wit was when she was on a visit to America and she was to do a speech after the president (i think it was G,W Bush) but the microphone was set up for the POTUS (who was a lot taller than her) and when she went up to the stand all you could see was her hat, a few years later she came back for another visit and this time the microphone had been set up better and her first words of the speech were "i think you can all see me this time"
@jtreacts you can always say your farewell on The Royal Website they have an online book of condolence, and also Friday around 7.30pn UK time the Queen four children are taking part in the Vigil at Westminster Hall, and the grandchildren are doing the same on Saturday, there is a livestream of Queen Lying In State which will continue until around 8am Monday morning before the funeral at Westminster Abbey, and then she will be taken into Windsor for another service and be reunited with her parents, sister and Duke of Edinburgh in the Vault at St George's, which will also be televised
That last moment always a tearjerker, honestly I’m just crying again but to be frank I thought JT knew about that Olympic Games opening with the Queen and Bond otherwise I’d have flooded the comments XD
The jubilee clip at the end, the part you didn't see was the next part....a military band (I think possibly Royal marines) played "We will rock you" by...erm...Queen.
So glad you did one of these reactions. We’re British and our TV channels are full of footage since she passed, we’ve loved watching some of the documentaries they’ve shown. Always loved her sense of humour, so thank you for sharing this. Nice memories of her to look back on. Love your channel, hopefully get to 100k soon! 🇬🇧
If you can, have a watch of the 2012 London Olympic Opening Ceremony. Gives a fascinating insight in to the history of the UK whilst being incredibly entertaining. It's a long watch (3 hours+ so maybe react to it in chunks?)

Yes brilliant story, hopefully JT will react to it. (American tourist meets the queen) on UA-cam channel sky news 2:41min long
I think your right .others probably will describe it better. I look forward to it
That's one of my favourites too.

Funnily enough, American Tourists ..
"Happy Jubilee ma'am, and, thank you ,for everything"
Gets me every goddamn time.
Definitely hots differently now
Me too. Even now, almost 2 months on, I still got a tear in my eye at that line :-(
Just got to that part and fuck me does it hit hard even now.
When she was young she became a military ambulance driver/mechanic, and over the years she rode horses, armoured vehicles, tanks, she fired serious military-grade artillery, and was about the most badass female leader in the western world. I'm proud to have been one of her loyal subjects. Even in her nineties she was cool!
And she sneaked out of Buckingham Palace to party when the war was over with her sister I think
The only Monarch in a 1000 years to partake in a real war. I only learnt when she died. I respect her even if I oppose Monarchy system. I thought like most it was a double who jumped but her grandson Prince Harry and William affirmed it was very real and very much her.
@@diongibbs312 I think you’ll find that a few monarchs actually participated in war, how do you think Richard lll died
Scared the shit out of some Saudi prince by ragging him around in a Land Rover once.
@@sharonwood1197 Yes, lol!
You missed the best part of the Paddington sketch where they both tap out Queens we will rock you on the teacups. Then Queen (the group) start the 70th jubilee concert. Best introduction a group could ever get.

The Queen actually seen in her 15th UK Prime Minister just the day before she passed away. Thank you for this JT.
2 days before she passed away.
@@gaynor1721 2 was it, it’s all a bit of a blur now.👍
@@jeffthomas2364 She saw her 15th Prime Minister last Tuesday, took a turn for the worst on Wednesday and died on the Thursday.
Or, as Boris Johnson himself said, “Seen off her 14th Prime Minister (him) and seen in her 15th”.
As least she managed to see that bit of business concluded before calling it a day.
Also, she met almost 1/3 of the American presidents (14 of the 46)

He's already watched videos about this so I'm really not sure why he's pretending that he didn't know about it.
On top of that they hadn't written her any lines, she asked if she should say something, she thought she should, and so adlibbed.
@@citizenpb Or he forgot? When you watch all the content he does, he's bound to forget things.
@@matthill3293 Wise up mate.
I was fine until the last bit with Paddington and here I am sobbing again. Damn you JT!
Get's me Every. Single. Time.
Same here. Damn right in them feels
Paddington has completely made me cry .more than anything else since the queens passing.
Someone is cutting onions round here I swear..
Me too 😢
That moment when Paddington thanks The Queen gets me every time, even more so now...Nice reaction man

The Paddington & James Bond (opening of the 2012 Olympics) sketches are worth watching in full ... thanks for this JT
I've literally just stopped crying...that ending - here I go again!
The Queen was a fan of the James Bond films, particularly Rodger Moore and Sean Connery both of whom were Knighted.
The Paddington sketch still gets to me. Keep up the good work JT. You always bring a smile to my face

Her Majesty was my boss from 2005-2010 & although l, & many before & after me took & oath to bear true allegiance to her (which means so much to us), she also gave the same oath to us. And that meant so much to her.
She'll be sadly missed by all..
The tweet from Paddington got me too, JT! I wept for hours.
Apparently she went into one of the shops near the Sandringham estate that had recently been bought by new owners. The woman behind the counter looked at her and said "Gosh, you look just like the queen!" And she replied " That's very reassuring...." Love it!
My husband served on the Royal Yacht Britannia where he took place in the sod’s opera …. He was in a lineup of lads dancing River Dance in kilts, Wellington boots and a bright yellow curly wig … she, apparently, was in tears with laughter, as were the young Princesses Beatrice and Eugenia … that’s just one of many meetings …. She certainly has a great sense of humour 😅
The 2012 Olympic ceremony was a laugh with the queen skydiving with James Bond and Mr Bean playing the chariots of fire theme tune. 🇬🇧
She was truly a one of kind person and it’s a shame that uniqueness had to be taken away from the world
Thank you for your lovely response to our gracious, humble Majesty from Sheffield UK 🇬🇧
The Queen is obviously the best Bond girl. 😆
JT, I have watched many reactions to the death of Her Majesty but yous have always touched my heart. Thank for your love and respect.
Thank you for doing a lighthearted video today. I can’t believe you haven’t seen the James Bond clip. No one else could have pulled it off, only Her Majesty.
That last one recently gets me each time recently
When this scene with Pagginton came out on Jubilee, I already felt like it was a farewell 🥺
I've lost count the amount of times I've seen the Paddington sketch and everytime I get that lump in my throat.
If you walk through the parks of London now you will see lots of flowers. Lots of condolences letters and lots of marmalade sandwiches in sandwich bags with the words ‘For Later xxx’ written on them. 😞
the clip with Daniel Craig, aka James Bond, you can see the queen smile just after she says "Good Evening Mr Bond" I bet she's thinking "I've always wanted to say that"
God it feels so raw to lose my Queen. She shines brightly on all her thankful subjects. I will miss her majesties smile for the rest of my life. Our unifier, our hope. Sweet dreams Ma’am. Thank you. See you tomorrow for one last time. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I've watched these funniest moments so many times, I adore her personality so much. can't believe you hadn't seen the James Bond one until now! 😂
The Queen doing the sketch with Bond makes total sense really since up until last week Her Majesty was Bond’s Boss!
Our Queen always had a jam ( you call it jelly) sandwich everyday bless her .I'm not looking forward to Monday, it's going to be so sad 😞. Thank you for the lovely memories and giggling moments with our Elizabeth ll 😊
I have just got home from London on seeing the queen lying in state! Amazing experience, finished off with laughing at this video
The Queen, being a mechanic during the war was a very adept driver. When the Saudi Prince was on a state visit, considering women weren't permitted to drive there at that time, she surprised him by climbing into the driver seat of the Range Rover he was in. The theory is that she wanted to prove how backward the saudi views on women driving were and that she took the Saudi Prince on quite the joyride, speeding through her estate filled with bumpy and windy roads. The Saudi Prince was said to be terrified the entire way, asking the Queen several times to slow down and focus on the road. She really did have a cheeky sense of humour.
Well this is the time you need a tattoo that incorporates something with the Queen or the dates she was alive! Incredible woman incredible life! God Save The King....
Totally agree with you jt should get a tattoo of the queen and may be beside her the king as its a very historic moment in world history .
EIIR 70
@JT Reacts ya need to see the full version of The Queen and Paddington video, it’s ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and very funny
I am so thrilled you have this much passion for our Queen and country! many Brits don't, especially as of late. Good for you!
Wonder why ay??? Maybe the British public have woke up to the family being parasites.. Go getya booster.
What is fall season in UK?
By the meteorological calendar, the first day of autumn is always 1 September; ending on 30 November. The seasons are defined as spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August), autumn (September, October, November) and winter (December, January, February).
Don't worry JT you wasn't the only one who choked up when Paddington said thank you
JT - a postage stamp with good ol’ Queen Lizzie on it is a must! Keep up the awesome videos! Me and Amy love your energy
The end of that video made me cry yet again! 🥹 ♥️ from 🇬🇧
Our late Queen so inspirational she took a vowel at such a young age and kept it, got stuck in during the 2nd world war as well did her family not wanting to leave during the blitz, may she rest in heavenly peace with her loved ones,
And for now good save the king and long live the monarchy X
I burst out crying when I saw that Paddington tweet as well. So I know how you felt there mate
I have been following for quite a while and I must thank you. You Sir are a Gentleman. You define all that is Good in all Americans and for that I thank you.
Michael Bentine told one of my favourite stories about the Queen. She and Prince Phillip were at a country fair in Australia where various competitions had been won and were talking to the winners. The overall winner of the lumberjacking competition was apparently well hydrated (slightly drunk) and may not have been entirely sure who the nice couple he was talking were to when she congratulated him on his win and asked him how much wood he could move in an hour.
"Well Ma'am- about a fucking ton I reckon." he replied.
At this point all the local dignitaries who were hovering around her and turning red in their suits and ties, the wives in their coats and the mayor in his robes of office promptly turned white and stood paralysed whispering to each other.
"Did that ocker just say fuck to the Queen?"
"I think he did- I think he said fuck to the Queen!"
"He did I heard him- he said fuck to the Queen!"
"What are we going to do?"
"What can we do? Can we have him arrested?"
"...Can she have US arrested?"
Prince Phillip, who was a Navy man of course and was never going to be bothered just said, "Steady on old chap."
"Well OK" said the lumberjack, "but at least half a fucking ton!"
So lovely. What a woman we had. The planet will never be the same again.
Queen Elizabeth II saw 15 Prime Minister her in The UK ....Swearing in Lizz Truss just 2 days Before she Oassed away .....Truly remarkable x
New subscriber here from England 🇬🇧 Thank you for this .....It feels like we've All lost a family here ....So sad!! XxX
As always, great fun JT. The bit with Paddington at the end....brilliant but sad. Thanks ☺❤👍
Always best to remember the good times. Thanks JT xx
I heard that The Queen didn't tell her family about the James Bond gig. They saw it for the first time with the rest of us. Hilarious!
One of my favourite stories of her wit was when she was on a visit to America and she was to do a speech after the president (i think it was G,W Bush) but the microphone was set up for the POTUS (who was a lot taller than her) and when she went up to the stand all you could see was her hat, a few years later she came back for another visit and this time the microphone had been set up better and her first words of the speech were "i think you can all see me this time"
@jtreacts you can always say your farewell on The Royal Website they have an online book of condolence, and also Friday around 7.30pn UK time the Queen four children are taking part in the Vigil at Westminster Hall, and the grandchildren are doing the same on Saturday, there is a livestream of Queen Lying In State which will continue until around 8am Monday morning before the funeral at Westminster Abbey, and then she will be taken into Windsor for another service and be reunited with her parents, sister and Duke of Edinburgh in the Vault at St George's, which will also be televised
That part where the Queen skydives into a stadium with James Bond was at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.
That last moment always a tearjerker, honestly I’m just crying again but to be frank I thought JT knew about that Olympic Games opening with the Queen and Bond otherwise I’d have flooded the comments XD
The Paddington one was from her platinum jubilee earlier this year
The jubilee clip at the end, the part you didn't see was the next part....a military band (I think possibly Royal marines) played "We will rock you" by...erm...Queen.
Got to love the Queen, what an amazing lady.
Watch the full Paddington tape it's lovely 😍 and she kept it completely secret so her great and grandchildren would be surprised
Aw Thank You JT ... A fab reaction to a Great Lady 💞
So glad you did one of these reactions. We’re British and our TV channels are full of footage since she passed, we’ve loved watching some of the documentaries they’ve shown. Always loved her sense of humour, so thank you for sharing this. Nice memories of her to look back on. Love your channel, hopefully get to 100k soon! 🇬🇧
If you can, have a watch of the 2012 London Olympic Opening Ceremony. Gives a fascinating insight in to the history of the UK whilst being incredibly entertaining. It's a long watch (3 hours+ so maybe react to it in chunks?)
The Queen didn't jump it was a stunt double 😂. Every one though It was her at first 😂
Well, who'd have thought it.
Boris Johnson recounted in parliament an episode where the Queen met some middle-eastern leader who actually believed she jumped from that chopper!
Have said it before and I'll say it again, the Queen was the best bond girl ever!!!
You can believe when the queen say's perhaps we can move it. That sun dais was moved.
6:45 just as my tears were welling up, you made me laugh. Thank you 😂
