A penguin who was previously made a Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian Army has been knighted at Edinburgh Zoo.

Penguin Nils Olav has been an honorary member and mascot of the Norwegian King's Guard since the 1980s.

Over the years, he has been promoted through the ranks after he was adopted by the Royal Guard who visited the zoo.
