Queen Elizabeth (right), who died a year ago in Balmoral, Scotland, at the age of 96, was unashamed to display her sense of humour. FEMAIL reveals her most amusing scenes from being in a scene with James Bond (top right), filming a scene with Paddington Bear (top right), and cutting a cake with a sword (bottom right).

The Queen was not afraid to show her softer side and her zingy wit

The Queen's sense of duty never wavered for a moment, but that doesn't mean our late monarch, who died on Thursday at the age of 96, didn't have pristine comic timing. In 2012, she appeared in a sketch with then Bond actor Daniel Craig, which culminated in her being 'parachuted' into the Olympic stadium for the opening ceremony. She warmed hearts once more by offering tea with Paddington Bear just a few months ago, during a moment that became a part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
