Merseyside Police officers and the media were lining up outside the city’s imposing Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts well before they opened at 9am, with huge public interest in Doyle's first appearance since he was charged.

He appeared at 10.30am, wearing an ill-fitting dark suit, a white shirt and grey tie.
