The carcasses of whales that washed up on England's east coast are being moved for burial.

It took a team of 15 people to remove the three, 30-ton sperm whales.

They will be taken to landfill sites.

Their cause of death is unknown.

Sperm whales can become confused and beach themselves in shallow waters.
