A boy from Ulverston who created a 'missing persons' poster after he lost his beloved Lego man on the way to school has been reunited with the figure.

Ten-year-old Jack Steele lost it on the school run which prompted a frantic search of the Lightburn Park, Chapel Street, Tank Square Carpark and Tarnside areas. 

Jack created the character in an image of himself so therefore the figure is also called Jack. 

In an effort to be re-united with Lego version of himself, he created a 'missing persons' poster with a very in-depth description of his person. 

The poster read: "Lost: has anyone seen this Lego man? He is very special to me."

Alongside a drawing, Jack wrote a description: "Light brown quiff with matching eyebrows. Hawaiian Shirt (blue with palm trees and an orange stripe on the bottom. Dark green pants."

He also offered a £2 reward.

Jack's mum, nursery manager Lorna Walker, said: "He came to me before he was going over to school very upset that he had lost it and thought it must have fallen out of his bag.

"After school he came out with the poster and we retraced our steps home with no luck. That’s when I posted the poster on Facebook.

"He had made it at the end of the holidays at the Lego Discovery Centre in Manchester and took great care in picking the perfect parts."

Luckily, this story has a happy ending as Lorna got a message from a mum whose daughter had found it on the way to school.

Lorna added: "Basically, Jack had put it in the front pocket of his bag to take it to his grandma’s after school to show her - but forgot to zip it and it had fallen out."

Lego Jack was found on Lightburn Park and as promised, a reward was given to the person who found Lego Jack. Unfortunately, Lorna didn't have any change, however the girl received a nice box of chocolates and she dropped him off after school.
