Because that's how Paddington travelled with the Brown's from Paddington Station to his new home.
Ahhh ok, I hadn't thought of that, thanks
Over 50 years have past since my mum used to read me Paddington so my recollections are a bit vague, lol!

The cancer rumours are resurfacing with the publication of a new book - given her majesty would never have wanted that revealed if even true I hope the media leave the story and focus instead on her amazing service - a sad note she is alleged to have told a lady in waiting she wanted to do as much work as she could as it took her mind off losing her beloved Phillip
I'm interested in reading the upcoming book of Lady Pamela Hicks. She was not just some random biographer, but The Queen's friend.
She was more than that, Lady in Waiting to The Queen, first cousin to Prince Philip and daughter of Lord Mountbatten. Also, she's the oldest living descendant of Queen Victoria.
I trust her opinion, I'd like to read this book.

Thank you - you piqued my curiosity about Lady Pamela - her own life sounds fascinating. While I wait for her new book, I am going to read her book about India. I find the period of Indian independence and the partition to be fascinating and she was there through it all as her parents were so integral to it all.
And she'll live through her THIRD coronation if everything goes smoothly.
Yes, I want to read it aswell. I think it's coming out sometime next year. Besides being a friend of The Queen she was also a lady in waiting for a long time. Pamela was the daughter of Lord Louis Mountbatten.
I love the story told by India Hicks (Pamela's daughter) about the time The Queen went to stay with them when they had a pet mongoose.

She really did cut quite the figure back in the day.
This is one of my all time favourite dresses. It really hasn’t dated at all and wow what a figure !
Watching the Tower of London series on channel 5 and the penultimate episode this series covered the Queens death and funeral I’m still crying
