POSTMAN Pat delivered a special delivery in Widnes to one of his biggest fans.

Three-year-old James Owen got a surprise when Postman Pat knocked on his door with a special delivery, as part of a treat organised by Alton Towers Resort on Monday, August 15.

During the visit, a shocked but delighted James told Postman Pat that he never thought he would come to his house in Widnes due to it being ‘such a long way journey from the television’. 

Postman Pat, who was joined by Jess the Cat, handed over a special parcel for James, which included free tickets for the family to visit CBeebies Land at Alton Towers Resort, a meal at rollercoaster restaurant, waterpark tickets and golf passes for the Staffordshire-based resort. 

The final surprise in the box was a limited edition Alton Towers Resort teddy bear which James has opted to call Pat.

It comes after James was nominated for by his family in an online competition.
