'She cracked a joke about me': Craig’s tribute to Queen
Story: Charles Miranda 
Actor Daniel Craig has paid tribute to the late Queen, describing filming with her as “incredible”.

Craig starred alongside the Queen in a comedic sketch as part of the opening of the 2012 London Olympics where she famously 'parachuted' into the ceremony.

Daniel Craig, speaking to the BBC from the Toronto International Film Festival
What an incredible thing. We will not see the likes of her ever again. To be alive during her reign is something else. [I’m] very saddened, so I suppose good luckto Charles.
Recently, prior to the Queen’s death, Craig described the 96-year-old as “very funny” during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Craig revealed the London Olympics skit “wasn’t supposed to be funny. It was supposed to be serious”. But the Queen improvised, he said.
The Queen also appeared in a surprise comic sketch with Paddington Bear, as part of the celebrations earlier this year honouring her 70-year reign, proving her comedic skills.

Paddington stands for a set of values that she stood for as well, for welcoming the stranger, for decency, for politeness in an age that had become very shouty... they are values that she had inhabited and expressed for her whole reign.
