In pictures: Whitby RNLI crew pulls town's 103-year-old lifeboat Robert & Ellen Robson through streets

Crowds cheered as the volunteer Whitby RNLI crew pulled the 103-year-old lifeboat Robert & Ellen Robson out of the museum on Saturday.

The RNLI crew as well as the local coastguard took on the task of pulling the lifeboat by hand through the streets of Whitby to take her to a temporary home at Coates Marine.

The lifeboat is usually on display at the museum, on Pier Road, but is moving out temporarily while the museum undergoes a major refurbishment.
