A TEARFUL five-year-old girl has made an adorable poster of her lost bear in a desperate bid to find it.
Lilly-Rose Frazer was enjoying a day out with her dad when she lost her beloved teddy bear Ratty.
The next day the family tried to retrace their steps along Broughton Street in Edinburgh but there was still no sign of the "well-travelled teddy".
In a cry for help, Lilly decided to design a poster of her grey Jellycat teddy which she has put up at a bus stop and social media to try and help find the bear.
Mum Abigail Martin-Frazer, from Edinburgh, says Lilly has taken comfort from everyone's support but is still devastated about losing Ratty.
The mum-of-two said: "The way the teddy went missing is a total mystery.
"She was out with her dad when she lost it.
"Kevin went for a haircut and they were about Broughton Street but when she got home she did not know how she had lost it.
"We've had so many people call in to say they have found it but its actually been the wrong teddy they have found.
"She gets comfort from everyone's support especially with the posters but most of the time she is tearful.
"She keeps asking 'will Ratty come home?'"
Lilly has been inseparable from teddy Ratty after having him since she was born.
Abigail added: "She does have plenty of teddies but this has been her main teddy bear since she was born.
"She goes everywhere with it. It's the most loved and well-travelled teddy.
"It looks like a mouse but we've called him Ratty."
