The Crown fans left fuming at obvious blunder in first episode of new series

The Crown is back and with it an inevitable explosion of divided opinions. After the first episode, viewers were left more ticked off about a spelling error than they were about the depiction of the Royal family. In this opening episode, we saw Queen Elizabeth II, now portrayed by Imelda Staunton, visiting a dairy farm in the Lancashire town of Warton.

As the Queen makes her speech, eagle-eyed viewers couldn't help but notice a spelling error on a dairy tanker parked behind her, which bore the word 'Morecombe'. Those in the Lancashire area know Warton is about an hour's drive away from the seaside town of Morecambe, but they've never heard of 'Morecombe'.
