    Three years ago a similar display using live penguins at Nottingham's Broadmarsh shopping centre was cancelled because of complaints from the public.

    In a statement Idlewells said the event would "both educate and delight" its customers.

    It continued: "Following a surprise visit to the home of these penguins and speaking with experts directly, we were 100% whole-heatedly confident these animals are extremely social and actually enjoy being with humans."

    Back to the row over real penguins being used in a feeding demonstration at the Idlewells Shopping Centre in Sutton on Friday as part of a Christmas event.

    Animal campaigners PETA are among those urging the organisers of the event to cancel it over concerns for the welfare of the birds.

    Nicola O’Brien from the group said using wild animals as a form of entertainment "sends out the wrong educational messages to the public, in particular to children."

    It's Thanksgiving this Thursday in the US - an annual holiday when Americans spend time with their families. 

    It was first marked by the Pilgrim Fathers, who travelled from the UK to the new world on the Mayflower in 1620, but did you know many of those original settlers can trace their roots back to Nottinghamshire? 

    One of the most notable of them was William Brewster from Scrooby.

    It's almost 400 years since the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, but one of the key characters was born in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire.
