Everything has gone quiet from Bristol Airport at the moment.
They have, I imagine, been inundated with lots of really helpful suggestions...  :)

They will probably get a few more after Ann Widdecombe had the photo and details centre stage in her column yesterday in the Daily Express

Didn't see Anne Widdicombe's columb Jean. Is she encouraging the hunt too?  :)

Did the Airport not recognise our name on their list of passengers Trystan? Are we still living in hopes....or do we need to go back to the drawing board? :)   
Best wishes HL

There was the photo from the Huffington Post and although Ann hasn't quoted the writing from the back of the photo it looks like she thinks the children are both girls because she goes on to say that it's not the most important event in the world but if anyone knows of two elderly sisters, possibly called Dora and Glyn - presume here she is thinking that Glyn is short for Glynis - can they get in touch with the kindly staff at Bristol Airport.

Ann gives the name of the bears spokeswoman and ends with the thought had he come from Darkest Peru.

Got to wonder if she did any research at all. If you google "Lost bear Bristol" you get so much info and we are there. 2 minutes reading time would have given her a much better story.

I am wondering if there is an "s" left off daughter(s) and "sonnie" is actually "sonine"  not sonnie (the teddy's name).

Did anyone find a Dora and a Glynis (Glenys) for the children or is Dora the mum and Glynis the elder child in the photo and the younger child has only been referred to as "baby"
