Paddington
Trail is a series of Paddington Bear sculptured statues designed by artists,
celebrities and designers which have been lined up and around London. They were
to coincide with the release of Paddington
(the film) and to raise money for the charity NSPCC and its Childline
Service. The Paddington Trail started on the 4th November and is to end on the
30th December 2014. There are 50 statues in total in the series with additional
ones and ones that were not official to the trail but were on display.
14 statues
were removed from the trail for auction between 9th and 11th December 2014 for
a NSPCC charity auction, while the rest were auctioned off live online on
Christie’s website on the 10th December 2014 to 7th January 2015. With the
exception of Paddington Jack statue,
the proceeds of this bear will go to Action Medical Research.
