A big teddy bear hug was given to Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Piglet at a special tea party to celebrate the bear's 80th birthday.

Children in the foundation classes at Howbridge Infant School in Dengie Close, Witham, were encouraged to bring their teddy bears in for the special event.

Teddy bear hats, along with party food with biscuits and fruit, were the order of the day.
