The Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, arrived at the town's harbour late morning for a tour of the Eyemouth maritime centre and a visit to the fishermen's mission.

The day marked the end of Royal Week, a traditional period set aside each year for the royal couple to carry out engagements in Scotland.
On arrival at Eyemouth harbour the Queen was shown around the museum's interior by founder Andrew Thornhill, who explained to her the current exhibition which tells the story of smuggling up to the mid 19th Century.

Wearing purple, the Queen then met Eyemouth's lifeboat crew while the Eyemouth pipe band played, before making her way over to the crowd and chatting with well-wishers.

She then headed into the Fishermen's Mission to meet the workers and find out about what they do, and when she left she waved to the crowds from the open car window.

Steve Dixon, of Harbour Road, Eyemouth, and his friend Sean McManus were among the throngs of well-wishers who turned out to see the royal couple, and gave the Queen a bouquet of yellow flowers.

Sean said: "I'm still in shock! We were really excited when she came over. It was amazing to see her up close, she was so friendly."
