Shaun Tennant and Jenny Wilkinson flew with their son Louis to Majorca from Leeds Bradford airport in June, and noticed the toy, named Bun-Bun, was missing when they unpacked their bags at the hotel after arriving.

Elsewhere, the Jet2.com team had found the toy on the aircraft and handed it into the lost and found office. They then took to social media to appeal for information in a bid to find the owner.

A friend of the family spotted the image and tagged Tennant – but only after he, his wife and son had arrived back home in Wakefield following their holiday. After that, Tennant and Ivonne Ballinas McLachlan, a customer helper who works in Majorca, swapped details and arranged for Bun-Bun’s journey home.

Before flying home to meet Louis, the toy was pictured with a suitcase and boarding card, holding hands with Jet2.com staff as it made its way to the aircraft and sitting in the aircraft cockpit getting ready to fly. Bun-Bun has now arrived back to the UK and was reunited with Louis for his first birthday.

Tennant said: "We are so grateful to the entire Jet2.com team. Everyone has gone out of their way to make sure the bunny was brought home and they’ve even brought the journey home to life thanks to the pictures they have shared, it’s amazing."
