RIP...always give Paddington's nose a rub when passing through Paddington station...it's very shiny so I'm not the only one who does it.

RIP. I remember much like Paddington coming to London to stay with a new family when I was 6, and although I am sure my adoptive parents knew what they were doing (it was the first set of books they read me) I will always feel a soft spot for that bear.

Have to admit I didn't realise Michael Bond was still alive, but loved the Michael Hordern narrated cartoon when I was little. (And now I've got the theme tune stuck in my head) RIP.

He gave me a lot of pleasure. Always enjoyed the way Paddington got things a bit wrong; not too cutesy but genuinely funny to my 9 year old eyes.

RIP.

I loved Paddington as kid, the books, the BBC animation, cuddly toy, even my Paddington pencil topper!

RIP, remember hearing my dad killing himself laughing when reading one day, so I asked him what was so funny, Paddington of course, books for all ages. You got to love that bear

I loved watching Michael Bond's The Herbs.
Here's the tale of Parsley's Tail, which was first broadcast in 1968.
Wonderful stuff. Thank you, Mr. Bond.
