So Christmas Day has been and gone, but we're still in the thick of the festive season and we're guessing many of you won't be moving far from the couch today.

It's Boxing Day – and you've earned this rest.

You might, however, need something to offer some light relief between munching on leftover turkey and clicking through the festive TV schedules.

Don't worry, we're here to help.

We've put together this 2016 quiz to test you on your knowledge of the stories that made the headlines in The Chronicle this year.

It's tough – but hopefully not too tough – and we'll be back next week with part two of the quiz, featuring questions about events in Chester, Ellesmere Port and beyond from July to December.

For today, we're focusing on January to June. Good luck!
