A Facebook group was set up called “Junior of Queens Park” - which now has over 2200 members - where people have posted their photos and tales of their catchups with Junior.
So sad to read about this. I was on holiday from Christchurch last March and encounted him outside the Winter Gardens while I was exploring Queens Park. I knew nothing about him and didn't think he would be allowed inside which was what he wanted, so he stayed outside and kept me company for about half an hour. I took three photos of him which I still have on my phone as he brightened up my day.
