It saw Her Majesty and Paddington pull out their respective Marmalade sandwiches as Paddington said: "Thank you… for everything", before wrapping up the skit as the Jubilee aired on TV.

The clip, which already has 9.5million views on YouTube, was discussed on BBC on Sunday afternoon – and the reporter shared his insight into the popular skit.

As they discussed Paddington on air, he said: "Can I just add something about the Paddington Bear skit that we've all seen.

"We should remember that she acted that in an empty space! It wasn't the real Paddington there, even though it looked like it.

"She acted out what she would say to Paddington and then the CGI experts went in and animated a Paddington image for her!"

Shortly after it was aired the clip circulated on Twitter with viewers acting completely bewildered to hear the news.

One user shared the clip writing: "Hang on WHAT??", as someone responded: "Paddington isn't real?!?!"

A third said: "Paddington wasn't really there?! Shocking!"

Another wrote: "Genuinely until BBC News explained it, I actually thought that The Queen performed her Paddington sketch with a real life bear. Get someone a Pulitzer Prize quick!"

An additional viewer wrote: "So you're saying Paddington is not even real??? BBC is taking it a bit too far now luvs."

But it's not the first bit of intel about Paddington from the BBC, with Sally Nugent on the Breakfast show telling viewers that the Royal Parks are requesting visitors stop bringing Paddingtons and marmalade sandwiches.

She said: "So please, feel free to bring flowers but maybe don't bring anymore Paddingtons or marmalade sandwiches for now."

Mourners have been attending Buckingham Palace following the Queen's death and laying down flowers, notes, Paddingtons and marmalade sandwiches.

The Queen's funeral will take place on September 19 at 11am.
