King George V (centre) takes part in a four legged race on the RMS Medina, Ernest Brown pictured on right of King.
Candid photographs showing King George V getting carried away on holiday - during an hilarious four-legged race on board the Royal Yacht - have come to light.
One snap shows the current Queen's grandfather being dragged off his bound feet by his own footman in the farcical event in 1911.
The pictures are being sold by the family of former footman Ernest Brown at auction in Sherborne, Dorset,
