Rowan Atkinson celebrated the 25th anniversary of Mr Bean in his own inimitable style – with a tour around London landmarks.

The lovable buffoon, created by the 60-year-old actor and Richard Curtis, took a trip around the capital in his lime green Mini, complete with an armchair strapped on.

The mostly silent character, who made his TV debut in 1990, took in sights such as Buckingham Palace, the Mall, and Knightsbridge department store Harrods.

Mr Bean, who was accompanied by his stuffed toy Teddy, documented his trip on Twitter.

Rowan’s alter ego has also enjoyed two big-screen outings – 1997′s Bean and Mr Bean’s Holiday in 2007 – as well as an animated series, which airs new episodes on Boomerang at 9am on September 5.

Fans of Mr Bean can also relive his best moments with the Ultimate Collection DVD boxset, which is available from September 7.
