Killer whale Keiko shot to fame as the star of the 1993 Hollywood blockbuster, Free Willy.

Five years later, Keiko became the first ever killer whale to be released back into the wild after a life of captivity.

A multimillion dollar campaign to free Keiko began following the success of the movie and he was flown back to his native country, Iceland.

Dave Phillips was in charge of the operation.
