Toddlers who went down to the Abbey Gardens, in Bury St Edmunds, were in for a big surprise, as a teddy bear's picnic was waiting for them.
Tea and cakes awaited mums and youngsters at the charity lunch and toddle, which raised £450 for children's charity Tommy's.

Roxane Marjoram organised the event to support the cause, which funds research into the causes of miscarriage and premature birth.

Mrs Marjoram, 36, who took along her one-year-old daughter, Daisy, said: "There was a great atmosphere. The kids had a wonderful time and the weather was fantastic."

A sponsored toddle and a best dressed teddy competition helped the event, which was part of a national fund-raising drive for the cause.
