RESCUERS were hit with £300 in PARKING FINES as they battled in vain to save Wally the Whale.
The team of volunteers parked their cars on meters by the River Thames in London on Saturday morning.
When the dejected group returned that evening after Wally died, they found parking wardens had slapped tickets on their cars.
Westminster Council promised the fines would be waived.
But Alan Knight, of the British Divers Marine Rescue Group, said: “It upset me. The cars had ‘Marine Ambulance’ on the side.”
Scientists thanked The Sun last night after hearing the rare whale’s bones WILL be presented to the Natural History Museum to preserve them for the nation, thanks to our campaign.
Wally mania continued yesterday as bids for a red watering can used to keep her skin wet hit £6,050 on eBay last night.
