A small whale freed after it became stranded along the Thames is on the move again – but is still in the river in London.
Crowds gathered at Teddington Lock in the south-west of the capital on Monday to catch a glimpse of the whale, a minke between 10ft (3m) and 13ft (4m) long.

It came after hundreds of people gathered at Richmond Lock and Weir on Sunday after the whale became stuck on the lock’s boat rollers.
Videos showed it being hosed down by a man believed to be from the Port of London Authority (PLA), while a vet performed a check-up at the river’s edge, before the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) arrived at the scene to the cheers of onlookers at about 9pm.
