Steven Hydes

Steven Hydes (born 1986), sometimes known as Steve Hydes, was found as an abandoned baby at the south terminal of Gatwick airport in London on 10 April 1986 by a duty-free sales assistant, Beryl Wright. Hydes was initially called Gary Gatwick after a plush toy bear sold in an airport giftshop that had been given to him by airport staff soon after his discovery. His case was widely publicised in the UK and elsewhere at the time. The baby was subsequently adopted and given the name Steven Hydes.

Despite extensive searching by Hydes and others for more than a quarter century little or no information has turned up about Hydes' origins. Hydes has recently featured on several TV programmes and was the subject of a documentary produced by the BBC.

Hydes resides in Sussex with his partner Sammy and children Alanna and Kian.
