A mum is heartbroken after what she lost after going to the Liverpool FC parade<\/a>. Angela Abbott, 33, from Pailey in Scotland, travelled down to the parade on Monday with friends and her cuddly monkey toy, which is called Monkey.<\/p>\n Monkey wears a red Liverpool<\/a> top. Angela has taken the teddy nearly everywhere with her for more than a decade and has a strong sentimental attachment to it.<\/p>\n However, the cuddly toy was lost in the busy Wetherspoons pub, The North Western<\/a>, next to Lime Street Station. Despite the best efforts of bar staff and others, it still hasn\u2019t been found.<\/p>\n Speaking to the ECHO<\/a>, Angela said: \u201cI’ve had it for years, it’s very sentimental to me. Anywhere in the world, I take it, so I\u2019ve been a bit of a mess without it.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I’ve had it now for over 15 years. Me and my little sister have got a matching monkey, so she’s actually given me hers to cuddle until we can locate mine.<\/p>\n \u201cI’m quite sentimental about the one time I’ve never had it, something bad has happened to me. I go on holiday in just over a week’s time and I’m worried sick that it\u2019s not coming with me.\u201d<\/p>\n Angela said the monkey was last seen when they were at The North Western Wetherspoons on Lime Street. She left it with the people she was with but it got lost amid the huge amount of people in the pub at that time.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cI had it all day on Monday, it was tucked into my jacket. The only time I left it was when I went down to the toilets to go and dry off. We were all soaked.<\/p>\n \u201cI’ve come back up, me and my friend have left to go and get wipes to take our makeup off. We left it with our friends and family, came back and obviously saw the state of queues for the train station. We went back to the pub and the monkey wasn’t there.\u201d<\/p>\n Angela said staff at the venue checked the CCTV for the monkey but struggled to find it because of the large numbers of people there.<\/p>\n Like many others, Angela was caught up in the massive queues to get home at the station. <\/a>She ended up falling ill and had to get a taxi home.<\/p>\n Angela said: \u201cWe tried to get home but I passed out among the crowds waiting to get into the train station. We had to get a taxi from Liverpool to Glasgow just to get home that night.<\/p>\n \u201cI know it sounds so funny that it’s just a monkey, but it means the world to me. I said to my partner, why did I take it? He said, it\u2019s because you take it everywhere, it’s your thing.<\/p>\n \u201cYou take that monkey everywhere. You\u2019re such a massive Liverpool fan and you took it because you wanted it to be part of the parade with you.\u201d<\/p>\n Angela said she is offering a cash reward for anyone who helps find it. She has not decided on the exact amount yet. She said: \u201dIf I need to travel down, I’ll get it. I had people reach out to me on Facebook<\/a> saying they’ll pick it up if they need to, and they’ll post it. But I will happily travel down.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were more people in Liverpool on Monday. Maybe a kid picked it up. The thought of someone else having it or it being in a bin, it\u2019s breaking my heart.<\/p>\n \u201cIt means everything in me, so if somebody does have it, it would mean the world to get it back.\u201d<\/p>\n Angela also praised the warmth of everyone they met while in Liverpool. She said: \u201cEverybody we came across was so lovely, from the Wetherspoons to inside the station. I’m honestly overwhelmed by the amount of caring people there are out there.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Angela](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0_Angela-Abbott-LFC-monkey-pic-1.jpg\")
