The bear replied: “Oh dear, I’m sorry to have worried you, however I can confirm that I’m fine and my hat is still firmly on my head”
THIS is the hilarious moment a Twitter user was left worrying for Paddington after spotting a distinctive red hat on some train tracks – but was hilariously reassured by the bear himself.
Social media editor Rosie Percy tweeted her dismay when she spotted the distinctive red hat on her commute home.
But Paddington immediately replied – and told the worried fan that the hat wasn't his.
He Tweeted: "Oh dear, I'm sorry to have worried you, however I can confirm that I'm fine and my hat is still firmly on my head.
"Also, I've just checked and my emergency marmalade sandwich is still underneath it."
Rosie soon kept the joke going, replying: "PHEW, I’ve had Aunt Lucy on the phone worried about you."
But the bear immediately shot back: "Oh no, I think I'm in trouble again. I'll write a postcard straight away to explain and hope I catch the postman at lunchtime."
Paddington Bear’s first appearance was in the 1958 Michael Bond book A Bear called Paddington.
In the story, friendly bear Paddington was from Peru and was found abandoned at London's iconic by the Brown family, who took him in.
Paddington was sent to England by his Aunt Lucy who has gone to live in the Home for Retired Bears in Lima.
