Pudsey visits Isle of Man
With Children in Need just around the corner, Pudsey Bear has paid a flying visit to the Island.
The fluffy mascot visited schools as well as the Childrens' Ward at Nobles Hospital ahead of the live BBC fundraising show on Friday night.
The charity provides assistance to many Manx charities.
On the Island, Barclays bank will be manning the phone lines over the weekend and taking public donations.
