PHOTO GALLERY: Miller Bear spreads the love on National Hug a Bear Day

Elderly residents at Broadacres Care Home, on Naylor Street, were delighted to see the furry Rotherham United football mascot walk through their door.

Miller Bear took a tour of the home to meet the residents, staff and visitors and take photos. 

Diane Rice, activities coordinator of Broadacres, said: “Hug a Bear Day might be one of the more unusual national celebrations but when your local football mascot is Miller Bear it would be a shame to miss it.

“Our residents were absolutely delighted by the visit and couldn’t resist a hug with the giant bear.”
