Mystery of bus stop bears partly solved

The mystery of why teddy bears have been waiting years for a bus in Lincolnshire has been partly solved.



Assorted cuddly toys have been "queuing" at a bus stop in South Willingham for at least a decade. Now, villager Sheila Lacey has admitted putting cuddly toys in the bus stop in recent years.

However, she does not know who first took the teddies to the shelter. "It's just a bit of fun," she said. "It's for children. We haven't got that many in the village but you can see they [the cuddly toys] are well handled."



According to village legend, the cuddly toys get replaced from time to time by fairies. Before Ms Lacey's confession, one woman said: "We've often looked and we've always wondered who actually puts them there. Nobody knows. They're very cute, but we've asked around and no-one will ever admit it."
