This 60th birthday tribute to Blue Peter by poet Tony Walsh will give you goosebumps

Take a minute – well, actually, eight of them – to enjoy this 60th birthday tribute to Blue Peter. It’ll make you smile and a little bit misty-eyed too.

Beautifully done, as all these people agree.

Brilliant Tony

Eight wonderful minutes reminding you why Blue Peter is the greatest children’s programme. Happy 60th. https://t.co/z5cNlGdGXi

Very moving. I don;t mind admitting the bit about the pets made me tear up a bit.

And from the man himself.

Excited to share the news that I was asked to write the official poem to mark #BluePeter60. The team have done a beautiful job with the visuals. 200k+ views yesterday and a lot of very moving responses. Watch, tag, share, RT, love! It's a celebration of childhood itself. Tx https://t.co/A9xj14tbb8
