I didn’t know I shared a birthday with Paddington Bear!
5 facts about Paddington Bear to know before you visit – Park Grand
Much like the Queen, Paddington Bear has two birthdays. He celebrates on the 25th December and the 25th June. This is because when Paddington Bear arrived to live with the Brown family, he couldn’t remember his birthday. So, they decided they’d celebrate twice.
