Much-loved rabbit TV presenter Gus Honeybun has celebrated his 50th birthday.

The rabbit puppet, famed through the 1970s and 80s for his 'bunny hop' birthday wishes on Westcountry TV, attracted hundreds of wellwishers for his celebrations at Flambards.

Among these was his former co-presenter, David 'Fitz' Fitzgerald, now a presenter for BBC Radio Devon.

Managers at the Helston attraction were stunned by the numbers of people who had come from all over the country to wish the famous bunny many happy returns.

Many were repaying him for the years of pleasure he gave to children of all ages whilst presenting his own regional TV programme, Gus Honeybun's Magic Birthdays.
