The landlady of one of Liverpool's most loved pubs has reached an important milestone of 30 years behind the bar.
Rita Smith, 83, took over Peter Kavanagh's on Egerton Street in the Georgian Quarter on 19 March 1992 - in an area where she has lived all her life. Rita has welcomed thousands of drinkers of all ages through the doors of the pub during that time, which she says has the same rules as her own home.
An eclectic mix of items adorn the walls of the Toxteth boozer from old radios to musical instruments and even containers filled with the ashes of former punters, who Rita describes as family.
