Mourners told to stop leaving marmalade sandwiches as tribute to queen
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOfficials in charge of the park outside Buckingham Palace have told people to stop leaving marmalade sandwiches as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II because of the “negative impact on the park’s wildlife.”
Some mourners have left the snacks alongside floral tributes at Buckingham Palace and neighboring Green Park. The sandwiches are a reference to a comedy sketch featuring the queen and an animated Paddington Bear, filmed for the late monarch’s Platinum Jubilee earlier this year.
In the video, the queen said that, like Paddington Bear, she also favors marmalade sandwiches and hides them in her purse “for later.”
The Royal Parks organization says people should not leave the snacks, but could leave teddy bears and other items if they wished.
