In Pictures: Nottingham's 'ship wreck'
The stricken Nottingham Princess, which became lodged against Trent Bridge on Friday night, has become a minor tourist attraction in the city.

Hundreds of people strolling by the river have stopped to take in - and photograph - the unusual sight.

The boat's owner, Joseph Wilson, insists the damage is superficial and the pleasure cruiser will soon be back in operation.

It is hoped the vessel will be moved with help from tug boats on Monday.
