On the post it said: “It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of our beautiful donkey Bubble.

“Bubble was very special to us at Hatton and we know she was many of our visitor’s favourite.

"She has been with us since the start and she was believed to be the oldest donkey in the UK (possibly the world) at 64 years of age.

“Bubble was kind, gentle and sometimes stubborn but always enjoyed announcing her presence in farmyard favourites with a loud bray and loved nothing more than a cheeky carrot, she will be sorely missed.”

The attraction has also put out a call for photos of Bubble on its Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/HattonWorld
