Warnings after raucous behaviour at screenings of the new A Minecraft Movie and the return of a vandalised statue of Paddington Bear were amongst our most read stories this week.

We have picked five articles from the past seven days in Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Dorset, Berkshire and Oxfordshire to keep you up to date.

A Paddington statue that was ripped from a bench by two RAF Odiham engineers has been repaired and unveiled.

Daniel Heath, from Thornton, near Bradford in West Yorkshire, and William Lawrence, from Enderby, Leicestershire, removed part of the statue from its bench in Newbury, Berkshire, in the early hours of 2 March.

It was recovered and repainted, and unveiled by Ian Batho and Ashley Morris from Newbury Business Improvement District (BID) at 11:30 BST last Wednesday.

Chief executive officer Trish Willets said she was "so excited" about the return of the statue.
