Today, fans of all ages took a pew next to Paddington as STUDIOCANAL unveiled a statue of the marmalade loving bear in Peterborough.
Launched as part of Paddington Visits, a trail of Paddington Bear statues across the UK and Ireland to celebrate the November 8 release of PADDINGTON IN PERU, Paddington took a seat on a bench in Queensgate Shopping Centre.
With passersby stopping for selfies, the city buzzed with excitement as they gathered to welcome its newest neighbour: a meticulously crafted and painted statue sporting the wise bear’s signature red hat, blue duffle coat, and, naturally, a marmalade sandwich in paw.
