A TEDDY bear which was lost from a pushchair and became the topic of a wide appeal has been found.

Ben and Amanda Greaves, of James Street, Thornton, Bradford, urged people to look out for the toy, which had originally belonged to their son, James, who died aged one-week-old in September 2014 from a rare genetic disorder, and was then given to their daughter, Natalie, now 11 months.

Despite an extensive search of the area, Facebook postings and numerous posters put up, no-one came forward and the family feared the teddy had been lost for good until a family friend spotted it on the counter of a convenience store in Thornton Road.

Grandmother Julia Greaves said: "We were amazed.

"It had been washed and taken to a store that was displaying one of our posters. We are so thrilled to have it back and want to thank whoever found it and took it to the store. We are so very grateful."
