Paul Doyle appears in court over parade crash
Paul Doyle has appeared in court accused of driving his car into a crowd of people after Liverpool FC's trophy parade. The former Royal Marine, 53, faces seven charges including wounding with intent, causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, attempting to cause GBH with intent and dangerous driving. A total of 79 people were injured on Water Street in the city centre just before 18:00 BST on Monday. The father-of-three of Burghill Road in West Derby, Liverpool, was escorted into the dock at Liverpool Magistrates' Court wearing a black suit, grey tie and white shirt. Mr Doyle appeared visibly emotional as he spoke quietly only to confirm his date of birth and age. For much of the hearing, he sat in the dock with his head down, listening to proceedings. District Judge Paul Healey has retired to allow for legal discussions to take place. Mr Doyle has been removed from the dock. Hundreds of thousands of jubilant Liverpool fans packed the city centre on Bank Holiday Monday and lined the 10-mile (16km) parade route as Liverpool FC celebrated winning their second Premier League crown and 20th top-flight league title. A pram carrying a baby boy was hit by a car and spun metres down the street after it was hit, but the child was not hurt. A fundraising campaign set up for those affected by the incident has raised more than £30,000, including a £10,000 donation from ex-player Jamie Carragher's charity foundation.

Two women on inflatable crocodile rescued from sea
Two women adrift at sea on an inflatable crocodile have been rescued after they were spotted by lifeboat crews on a separate rescue mission. The RNLI team from Hoylake, Wirral, set out to find two people reported as being stuck in waist-deep water near to Hilbre Island earlier. As they searched, they spotted the women - who were not wearing lifejackets -stranded on the blow-up reptile. A Coastguard spokesman said the walkers were found to have made it back to the island, while the women on the inflatable were brought back to shore. The spokesman said people should always check tide times before going out and remember that inflatables were not suitable for using in the sea.
