The forgotten Fourth Queen - Lytham lifeboat among royals on river

The Three Queens may have stolen the attention of the crowds in Liverpool on Bank Holiday Monday but there was one more royal on the river who stayed out of the spotlight.

'Her Majesty the Queen' was one of a number of lifeboats from the Liverpool area out to protect people at the event.

The stations from New Brighton, Hoylake and Lytham St. Anne's were all on the river to see the Three Queens sail safely.
