A whale died after it became stranded along a stretch of the Lincolnshire coastline.

Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue (CWR) received a report that the pilot whale was stranded near Stallingborough and Immingham on Wednesday.

After volunteers were dispatched to the scene, the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) were called for extra support, but the whale sadly died.

BDMLR said it was “glad the whale didn’t suffer for long in such awful conditions”.
