It all began in 1967 when Edward forgot his hat on a BOAC flight. Doris, then a flight attendant, found it and returned it to him. In return, he bought her some shortbread as a thank you. One small gesture, and their story took flight.
From that day on, Heathrow has been part of their journey - the backdrop to countless arrivals, departures and long-awaited hugs. For Doris and Edward, it’s always been more than an airport. It’s where people reconnect and stories continue.
After a few years roaming the world, the Heathrow Bears have returned, rested and ready for new adventures. You might spot them at check-in paw in paw, taking it all in like true paw-ssengers.
Because for them, travel isn't just about the destination – it’s about the moments shared along the way.
Edward’s still in his trusty tweed flat cap. Doris is as stylish as ever in her yellow coat and red hat. Together, they’re every bit as charming as you remember.
If you’re travelling through Heathrow, pause for a moment - you may just notice a little magic from two familiar travellers.
From a forgotten hat to a lifelong love story, Doris and Edward remind us what travel is really about - the people we share it with, and the joy of beginning the next journey together.
