Paddy (Pigeon number NPS.43.9451)〔(PDSA website ), Dickin Medal awardees, retrieved 2006-02-26〕 was an Irish carrier pigeon awarded the Dickin Medal after being the fastest pigeon to arrive back in England with news of the success of the D-Day invasion, out of hundreds dispatched. He flew 230 miles across the English Channel in four hours and fifty minutes,〔(Times Online ), "Top 50 greatest sporting animals", retrieved 2008-04-26〕 the fastest recorded crossing, and was awarded the medal on 1 September 1944, just under three months after the crossing.〔(Observer magazine ) Dickin medal awardees, retrieved 2006-02-26〕 Paddy was trained by Andrew Hughes of Carnlough and is the only animal in Ireland to be awarded this medal.〔(BBC Your Place and Mine ), "Paddy Power", retrieved 2008-04-26〕
