PADDINGTON Bear has asked me to thank Citizen readers for helping to celebrate his birthday in style last month by raising lots of money for his favourite charity - Action Research.
Thousands of people in schools, guide huts and offices celebrated by holding their own Bring Your Bear Party.
I joined Paddington recently to help open the large sacks of mail which have been arriving following the Bring Your Bear campaign. He was very excited at the number of donations received!
All the money raised will go towards Paddington's Suitcase Challenge - raising £1 million for research into children's diseases.
