A teenager who lost her life-long cuddly toy companion at a hotel has been reunited with it after it was found -120 miles away at a dry cleaners.
Known as Mr Nightly, the stuffed toy had belonged to 15-year-old India Gillam since she was just two years old, sleeping by her side every night.
The American teen was devastated when she realised she had left the bunny behind at a Premier Inn hotel at London Heathrow airport after visiting family in East Sussex.
Following a frantic search however, Mr Nightly was reunited with his lifelong friend .
The toy was discovered 120 miles away at CLEAN laundry on Lufton Trading Estate in Yeovil, Somerset.
The dry cleaning business, which has a contract with Heathrow Premier Inn, found the toy wrapped up in the bed sheets.
The laundrette wrote to owner India and even showed her a series of photos of the rabbit's day at its offices.
The cuddly character attended a board meeting and tried out a sorting platform.
India's grandmother Ming-Sai Gillam said: "My granddaughter had come over from the US for three weeks and brought Mr Nightly with her.
"When she realised she'd lost Mr Nightly and had to go back to the US without him she was so upset. I was getting calls nearly every day asking if I'd found him.
"I didn't think in a million years we'd find him, but when we found out he'd been recovered by CLEAN we were so relieved, and my granddaughter was elated.
"We can't thank the team at the laundry enough."
Geoff Milverton, site director at the CLEAN Yeovil laundry, said: "I’m so pleased to have been able to return Mr Nightly to his owner, alongside a creative story of his stay with us at Yeovil.
"This is just one of the many examples of the brilliant team here going above and beyond for our customers and their guests."
