SOME of the largest sea turtles of the world have travelled from the Blackpool Tower Aquarium to the Brighton Sea Life Centre overnight.

The turtles are over 50 years old and weigh around 127kg each, and have outgrown their Blackpool home.

They are to be transported in their own temperature-controlled vans to their new larger tanks in the South.

Arthur Russell, who has been their keeper for the last 19 years, will be with them every step of the way.
