It was a busy day for charity icon Pudsey Bear on Friday as he criss-crossed Stirling raising money for the Children in Need cause.
Once again this year, veteran fundraiser Paul Ford - representing Bridge of Allan and Stirling Round Table - donned the famous suit and spread the word of the charity’s work far and wide - from the top of Dumyat to the animal enclosures at Blair Drummond Safari Park.
This year’s event also saw the return of Pudsey to some local schools and nurseries to hear about their work in supporting Children in Need - after the Covid pandemic had led to that leg being cancelled in recent years.
