Paddington Bear fans will be delighted with the arrival of not one - but two - statues in Berkshire.
The adorable bear has arrived in Broad Street, Reading, outside Waterstones and on the High Street in Newbury outside Camp Hopson’s, as part of a new nationwide trail.
Already dozens of people have been stopping to get their pictures with Paddington.
The trail includes 23 statues across the UK and Ireland, launched ahead of the release of the new film, Paddington in Peru, set for cinemas on November 8.
The Newbury statue is located on Northbrook Street and has already become a popular spot for selfies.
The Newbury statue is one of a group of statues unveiled this week on benches stretching from John O’Groats to Land's End.
The statue depicts Paddington in his signature red hat, blue duffle coat, with a marmalade sandwich in paw.
Warwick Heskins, Newbury BID chairman, said: "Newbury BID are excited to welcome home Paddington, and are delighted to be part of Paddington Visits, the UK and Ireland trail.
"We are looking forward to the national and international tourism offer that Paddington will bring to our town.
"Our businesses are thrilled to hear about the installation and the economic uplift. Now where’re the marmalade sandwiches?"
A spokesperson from Studiocanal said: "We are delighted to launch Paddington Visits, a trail which will see everyone’s favourite bear bringing fun, kindness and warmth to communities across the UK.
"We hope that everyone seeks out their local Paddington, whether that’s dropping by for a chat about your day or to enjoy a marmalade sandwich or two while enjoying the view.
"Paddington is ready to welcome everyone."
With Paddington coming to towns, cities and beauty spots, Studiocanal has teamed up with Ordnance Survey to help intrepid explorers discover Paddington in the different locations.
Fans can head on over to Ordnance Survey’s website to learn more.
The trail is part of the promotion of the new film.
This adventure will see Paddington return home to the Peruvian jungle to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, now a resident at the Home for Retired Bears.
With the Brown Family and Mrs Bird in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mysterious disappearance plunges them into an unexpected journey from the Amazon rainforest to the mountain peaks of Peru.
Newbury is the hometown of Paddington's creator, Michael Bond, adding extra significance to the statue's location.
Other locations in the trail include Ashby de la Zouch, Birmingham, Bury St Edmunds, Cardiff, Chester, Westport, Edinburgh, John O’ Groats, Lanark, Land’s End, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newtownards, Penrith, Peterborough, Reading, Salisbury, Southampton, Sunderland, and York.
