It belonged to nine-month-old Enya Dorkins, who was holding the Little White Company cuddly toy in her pram.

Enya's mother, Sue Dorkins, a teacher from Fleggburgh, said: 'It was a Christmas present when she was four-months-old. Since then she has used it for every bedtime, nap and takes it to the childminder. I feel quite sad. My husband ran back but couldn't find anything.'

Mrs Dorkins had a polar bear toy as a child and her four-year-old son Jonah was given a polar bear toy as a present.

If you find the polar bear bring it to the EDP office on Rouen Road, Norwich.
