For most of us, Rowan Atkinson and his wordless, endearingly clueless character of Mr Bean strikes a strong nostalgic chord.

According to Hollywood Reporter, in celebration of British sitcom Mr Bean’s 25th anniversary, Rowan Atkinson gave British fans a live performance outside Buckingham Palace on Friday.

British comedian Rowan Atkinson, in character as “Mr Bean“, poses on a Mini auto besides Buckingham Palace in central London, September 4, 2015. No, not the Queen, but a chap just as famous the world over: Mr Bean.

“I have been a fan of Mr. Bean since I was three years old, so getting to meet him in person today was a dream come true”, said Dille.

An official Mr Bean Twitter account showed pictures of the globally recognised character on his drive with his toy bear, standing by his large pile of presents and even posing for a photo with the Metropolitan police.

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.

New animated Mr Bean episodes will air on children’s TV channel Boomerang on Saturday 5th September.
