VETERAN star Bernard Cribbins was reunited with his co-stars from much-loved film classic The Railway Children after 44 years.
The iconic family movie was shot on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, and catapulted it to international fame.
Mr Cribbins was joined at the reunion by Jenny Agutter and Gary Warren, who played the Waterbury children in the timeless film, as the 85-year-old received the JM Barrie Award in recognition of his lifetime of work which has made him a well-known figure for generations of children.
The stars came together at an event in the Radio Theatre at the BBC's New Broadcasting House in London, which celebrated Cribbins' career in film, TV, radio and on the stage.
In the 1970 film adaptation of Edith Nesbit’s book The Railway Children, Cribbins played station porter Perks who befriends Bobbie (Agutter), Phyllis (Sally Thomsett) and Peter (Warren), who move from London to Yorkshire after their father is wrongly jailed for espionage.
It famously featured the tear-jerking moment at the film's climax when Agutter, now 61, cries "Daddy, my daddy" as they are reunited on the platform of Oakworth station.
