Title: OTD - 24th February (2000) - Paddington Bear laid bare Post by: grahame on February 23, 2022, 20:53:13 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Paddington_Bear
Quote The statue of Paddington Bear at London Paddington station is a bronze sculpture by Marcus Cornish. Erected in 2000, it marks the association between Michael Bond's fictional bear and the station from which his name derives. It stands on Platform 1 under the station clock and was unveiled by Michael Bond himself on 24 February 2000.

Doesn't appear in the items on the "On this day" section of the BBC web site.
