Celebrating Our Most Iconic Bears

WE ALL have fond memories of our first days at school, the sweets that dominated our youth, and some of our fashion faux pas. But the one constant for most children was their trusted teddy.

Whether you woke up with Paddington Bear, Teddy Ruxpin or some other cuddly toy, most of us can recall our childhood favourites. We’ve taken them to school with us, left them behind in the playground, on the bus, and had tantrums when we’ve forgotten to bring them home from our grandparents’ house.

Here are 8 of our favourites.
