The splendid 81 Ib sturgeon who let himself be caught to raise money for the RNLI at Billingsgate Market's open dav last ear.

Portered here by Bill Ruth, the sturgeon was bought by London wholesaler, Leslie Steadman, for £26 a pound. The profit he made on its resale went to the RNLI. The open dav was a great success and raised £1,595 for the lifeboats. photograph by courtesy of The Times.
