Just 19 unhinged brand tributes to the Queen which go way too far

Look, I want to keep this respectful, so I’ll just stick to the facts: Yesterday (8th September), Buckingham Palace announced the death of the Queen. Naturally, tributes began pouring in from across the country, including people you didn’t even know were royalists (if you see another of your school bullies sharing that Paddington drawing one more time…).

Obviously, the brands couldn’t stay silent. What followed was a positive avalanche of unhinged tweets, Facebook posts and Instagram photos, each commemorating the Queen in their own weird way. Honestly, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for The British Kebab Awards to post!!

So, here’s a full rundown of the worst brand posts so far:
