Bruno had lived at the centre since 1989 when he was rescued to be rehabilitated, but an outbreak in the wild of Phocine distemper virus meant he couldn't be released.

Lyndsey Crawford-Darwell, head of animal care, said: "Bruno was a huge part of our family. Both the whole team and myself are very upset, but are finding comfort knowing we gave him a wonderful home.

"Bruno developed a strong bond with one of our other residents, Mando, after he arrived.

"Mando was supposed to move away, but when move time came, Bruno was so determined not to have his best mate taken away he lay between us and Mando."

Bruno leaves behind his other pool-mates, Pendle, Herbie and Ed.

It's thought Bruno died from kidney issues which are common in older harbour seals.
