Children who were taken to ASDA in Hartlepool on Tuesday 4th September were in for a big surprise.

Pools' monkey mascot H'Angus was in the store all morning as he helped out with a 'Back To School' promotion.

Joanne Tweddle, Events Co-Ordinator at ASDA was delighted that H'Angus was able to help out,

"He's been very good here all morning, he's smashing with the kids and they all love him.

"We want to make sure the kids are all looking forward to going back to school and H'Angus has been helping us with that message."

While he was in the store, H'Angus wandered round the aisles, meeting the children and posing for photographs along the way.
