Who doesn’t love Paddington Bear, the sticky-pawed, marmalade-loving refugee from Peru, who is taken in by the Brown family and has a series of hilarious adventures?

Now Paddington fans have a chance to wish his creator, Michael Bond, a happy birthday – a happy 90th birthday no less – via videos and photos. A selection will be compiled into a special video to be shown to Michael Bond, and shared on Paddington.com and social media, on 13 January 2016, Michael Bond’s birthday.

You can tell him what Paddington means to you or simply wish amazing Mr Bond a very happy birthday. Full instructions are on the Messages for Michael Bond website.
