I say Ol' Chap, Is that a whale I spy?

A seven-ton whale has made its way up the Thames to central London.

The 16-18ftnorthern bottle-nosed whale, which is usually found in deep sea waters, has been seen as far upstream as Chelsea.

A rescue boat has been sent to protect the whale and rescuers have been trying to keep it away from the river banks.

Specialist equipment, including inflatable tubes to re-direct the animal downstream, are being sent.
