Tens of thousands of dead starfish have washed up on the beaches of southeast England after the "Beast from the East" hit the UK. The extreme weather could be the reason for the deaths of the starfish which blanketed a beach's in the county of Kent.

Incredible pictures show Fraisthorpe beach near Bridlington blanketed by tonnes of the creatures, with a group of fishermen battling to save some of the marine life still alive.

One of them labelled it a 'war zone' as he attacked members of the public for trying to scavenge live under-sized lobsters while he and other commercial fisherman piled them into buckets and boxes in a bid to release them back into the sea.

It comes after tens of thousands of dead starfish were also washed up at Ramsgate in Kent following the severe weather, with witnesses saying the scene looked 'like the armageddon'.
