Hi my name is Johnny Brine and was wondering if someone could help with identification?
Around 3 or 4 years ago I planted some Orange & Lemon pips in a container. They’ve never fruited but this year one seems to be growing much faster than the other. Unfortunately I can’t remember which is which. Is there anyway I can attach a picture ?

    I don't think what it is matters until it starts to fruit which is a long way off yet.  The care is pretty much the same.  Try and find some specialist feed for citrus plants to help it along.

    Is that a thorn on the top picture, @jbrine1?  (Welcome to the forum, by the way.   :) )  If so, my guess would be lemon - others may disagree, but I don't know that orange trees have thorns...
