Sarah WalkerAvailable for over a year
As a memorial service is held in his honour, we delve into our archives as Michael Bond tells ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Berkshire's Sarah Walker about the time he found the 'real' Paddington bear. Michael Bond, Paddington Author: "I was walking down Oxford Street on Christmas Eve and it started to snow, there was nobody around and I found myself in the town department. "There was one bear left on the shelf, I walked away and I thought you can't stay here all by yourself. "I've always wanted to use the name Paddington for a character...we'd find ourselves talking to him."
