'For anyone twitching the beluga, it's been feeding around the barges for the last hour and hasn't moved more than 200 metres in either direction. Still present.'

He added that the whale was 'best viewed from Kent just off Shorne marshes but don't know access to this area'. 

Aspiring marine biologist Beth Clyne, 20, of East Yorkshire, tweeted: 'I'm freaking out about this beluga in the River Thames! I'm that shocked, I don't know what to think.

'As amazing as a beluga whale in the River Thames is, it poses a potentially tragic fate for it. Worrying yet extraordinary!'

Marine biologist Dylan Todd, of Twickenham, South West London, said: 'Amazing! A Beluga whale spotted feeding in the Thames. Very rare in English waters.'

And Sarah Dolman from the Whale and Dolphin Conservation tweeted: 'Probably not good that this beluga is in the Thames. Please give the whale space!' 

Sky News presenter Kay Burley tweeted of her excitement about the whale, saying: 'We're scrambling the Skycopter. Standby.'

Famously, in January 2006, an 18ft northern bottlenose whale swam up the River Thames

Thousands of people watched from the riverbank as rescuers tried to save the whale in 2006

Ranging from 13ft to 20ft in length, they are common in the Arctic Ocean's coastal waters - but migrate southwards in large herds when the sea freezes over.

In January 2006, an 18ft northern bottlenose whale swam up the River Thames, with thousands of people watching from the riverbank as rescuers tried in vain to save it.

The story of the whale captivated people across Britain and abroad, with it being the first time the species had been sighted in the Thames since records began in 1913.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
