All that was left of Sinbad the teddy bear was his face, but a vicar has lovingly restored him.
Sinbad has been given a new life after a year of restoration work
The bear's battered face washed up on Porth beach near Newquay, Cornwall, after storms in January 2022. Ms Ashton had never restored a teddy bear before but when she saw the photo, felt compelled to get in touch."He just looked so sad, but also so hopeful. It was just the head of a bear but he seemed alive," she said.Her son, Bill, 13, named the bear Sinbad after Sinbad the Sailor, because of the adventure he had been on.
