1979: Pooh Sticks played by the real-life Christopher Robin

Through the stories of Winnie the Pooh, generations of children grew up playing 'pooh sticks', and in 1979 the bridge that was the inspiration for the game was rebuilt as a memorial to author A.A. Milne. His son Christopher Robin Milne spoke about what the residents of Hundred Acre Wood might have thought about the new bridge.
