Visitors to Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland are saying goodbye to giant pandas Tian Tian and Yang Guang ahead of their journey back to China.

They have lived in the UK since 2011 but will be returning to China in December.

Preparations are under way to safely send them home, but for security reasons, the date of their departure will be kept under wraps.

The pair were originally only supposed to stay for 10 years, but the unique loan deal was extended due to the Covid pandemic.
