Big "aaaaah" everyone ......

M11 closed to retrieve cuddly toy

Police closed a section of the M11 to rescue a girl's soft toy after it flew from the family car in a gust of wind.

Amy Osborn, 10, of Ramsgate, Kent, was on her way home from holiday in Eslove when her cuddly tiger, Tyrone, escaped through the sunroof.

Her father, Simon, said he called police "out of desperation".

"I know they have more important things to do," he said, "but one of the officers had children and probably knew the importance of these things."

He said the family travelled to the next junction and then turned back to look for the toy.

"It was in the central reservation and there was really not much we could do," he said.

"In desperation, we thought we would call the highway police. They called us when we got home and said they had managed to retrieve the little thing - and popped it in the post for us."

He said the bear had not arrived at the weekend but that Amy - who has owned Tyrone for five years - would be waiting at the door on Monday.

Mr Osborn added: "The police are obviously very busy and have other things to get on with, but I think it's great.

"It shows their social input and it's something we should be proud of."
