Young Reporter Thames Contamination Henry Summerfield Hampton School

On the morning of Saturday 20 April, those around Richmond Lock were greeted by a rare sight: for what is believed to be the first time since 2017 in the area, onlookers saw dolphins in the river Thames. Spotted in previous days, the two have since made their way downstream and quickly accumulated a crowd.
