CHESTER Zoo is asking members of the public to help suggest names for their newly-hatched penguin chicks.

The zoo put out an appeal on social media on Good Friday, April 10, asking for names with the theme of NHS heroes.

A spokesman said: "Our Penguin chicks need names!

"The naming theme this year recognises the amazing work of our #NHSHeroes - please reply and nominate a hospital.

"So this little chick *could* be named Nightingale or Countess (after the Countess of Chester)

"Thank you from Chester Zoo."

Nominations can be given via the Chester Zoo twitter page.
