It was dinosaur feeding time at Hounslow's Treaty Centre during half-term, but luckily children weren't on the menu.

Tiny the stegosaurus visited the shopping centre in Hounslow High Street last Thursday (February 20).

The animatronic herbivorous beast chomped on ferns offered up by intrepid youngsters, who were also able to talk to her in dinosaur language as they learned about palaeontology.

The prehistoric fun continued with a trail for youngsters to follow and track down hidden dinosaurs.
