A humpback whale in the Isles of Scilly “put on a show” for visitors, leaving them in awe.

Molly Wates, who lives in West Sussex, said it was an “unbelievable” sight as the breaching whale emerged from the water.

Ms Wates said they saw the mammal behind St Martins on Friday at about 11:45 GMT.

“The whale was sort of just coming up, then suddenly he just started breaching out of the water and put on a proper display for us,” she said.
