Authorities are trying to deal with three dead sperm whales washed up on a beach in Skegness in Lincolnshire.

They're thought to be from the same pod as a whale found dead at Hunstanton in Norfolk.

Adrian Chiles spoke to James Gilbert from East Lindsey District Council, who has to work out how to dispose of the carcasses, and Alison Kentuck from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Her official title: 'Receiver of Wreck'.

"It's incredibly sad, but we are doing what we need to do to get them taken away as quickly as possible," said James.
