Tim provided a special Easter message for everyone on social media with the Tweet: “Happy Easter everyone - and many thanks as always for the lovely messages.”

While he continues to provide numerous dramatic photos from space and take part in various experiments there’s been plenty of time for him to receive messages from Earth with the accent on Easter puns.
