A woman is urging the public to help find a lost toy belonging to her two-year-old niece.

Skye lost the ginger and white cat puppet called Lillycat while on holiday with her parents in Bournemouth.

The toy has been described as Skye's "constant companion" since she was one-year-old.

The family were staying at the Hotel Collingwood between June 14 and 15.

They believe the toy was lost between the hotel and the Oceanarium but despite retracing their steps, they were unable to find it. 

Hayley Topping, Skye's aunt, said: "Lillycat went everywhere with Skye, she has had her since she was a few months old and constantly asks for her."

Anyone who has seen it is asked to email hayley_topping@yahoo.co.uk
