'After 82 years in tanks giant turtle Lulu deserves to have freedom'

Campaigners are calling for the world’s oldest captive green sea turtle to be granted her freedom to live out her final years.

Lulu, who’s 82, lives at Sea Life Brighton, the world’s oldest aquarium. Before that, she spent 19 years at Sea Life in Blackpool but outgrew her tank. She had previously spent 30 years at London Zoo.

It is understood that she was taken from the wild as a tiny hatchling back in 1940
by a TV advertising agency to star in an advertisement for soap.
