PADDINGTON BEAR, Peru’s most famous export, marmalade connoisseur and most recently hero of his very own movie, has been in Tetbury during this week, making new friends wherever he has been and followed closely by his own paparazzo in the form of town councillor Kevin Painter.

The Standard will be running a competition based on Paddington’s Tetbury travels in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile The Standard gives a flavour of the warm welcome Paddington has received from businesses and residents.
