Paddington Bear has an endless amount of gratitude for the late Queen Elizabeth II.

After the British monarch passed away on Sept. 8 at the age of 96, the official Twitter account belonging to the beloved character shared a few words in her honor. "Thank you, Ma'am," the Sept. 8 message read. "For everything."

The note penned to the Queen included the same five words Paddington mentioned at the end of a video he starred in alongside Her Majesty earlier this year.

In celebration of her Platinum Jubilee in June, Paddington and Queen Elizabeth II were seen meeting (with a little CGI help, of course) to enjoy tea together. In the sweet video--also shown to the crowd outside of Buckingham Palace during the festivities on June 4--both Paddington and the Queen bond over their love for the bear's favorite snack: a Marmalade sandwich. The touching callback from Paddington serves as one of many tributes penned by figures around the world who have honored the Queen's legacy.
