Volunteers refloat stranded minke whale

Volunteers who refloated a whale stranded on a Fife beach say they are hopeful it has now made its way back to deeper water.

The 20ft (6.1m) minke was spotted on a beach west of Elie at about 16:00 on Friday.

A team from British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) led the operation to refloat the mammal at high tide.
