Several people have been airlifted to hospital after an amphibious tourist craft sank in Liverpool's Albert Dock.

Coastguards say more than 30 passengers were plunged into the water when the vehicle went down just before 16:00 BST.

The Yellow Duckmarine tour company takes tourists around Liverpool by land and water in amphibious vehicles.

North West Air Ambulance said it was taking passengers away from the scene.

A Yellow Duckmarine craft also sank on 31 March. No one was injured.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have ridden a "Yellow Duckmarine" on the River Mersey as part of the Diamond Jubilee tour on Merseyside.

The royal couple took a trip on the amphibious craft as part of a tour of Liverpool, before visiting the city's Merseyside Maritime Museum.
I suspect that's the end of the Yellow Duck .....
