Will Bennett and his little Iggle Piggle
Twenty-month-old Will Beckett is happily reunited with his beloved Iggle Piggle – named Tinky Winky – thanks to an appeal on Shropshirestar.com.
Jools Payne, an Oswestry businesswoman, contacted the Star after discovering the cuddly toy frozen in the street outside her office in The Old Railway Station, Oswald Road.

She rescued the toy – based on one of the main characters of popular BBC children's programme In The Night Garden – before defrosting him on the office radiator.
Jools, who runs public relations consultancy The Jools Payne Partnership, then launched her appeal to find Iggle Piggle's owner.
She said as a mother she could appreciate the distress that can be caused when a child loses their favourite toy. Jools said: "His mum Cathy Beckett read of her son's favourite toy's rescue and came in to collect him from our office where he'd taken up residence on the radiator. So it was a very happy ending."
Cathy said: "I think Will must have thrown him in the gutter as I got him out of the car. He's actually called LaLa. . . because Will can't say Tinky Winky."
