A Christmas advert to rival major supermarkets has been released by Heathrow Airport for the first time, as it brings its own heartwarming message to viewers.

Launching their video campaign, "The best gift of all", the film shows teddy bear couple Mr and Mrs Bair as they adventure through the airport.

As they travel through the hub, the film - set to a Chas and Dave soundtrack - captures all the familiar sights and sounds of Heathrow.

Finally the elderly bears emerge, blinking into arrivals and we see them searching the crowds for someone, but we won't give away the ending, you'll have to watch for yourselves.

The airport's commercial director, Jonathan Coen, said: "Christmas is my favourite time of year at Heathrow – the airport is abuzz with families and friends reuniting for this special time of year."
