Earlier this afternoon there was a festival feel in St Ives.

There was a band, Psychadelephant, playing on a stage set up on the beach in the harbour, with about 30 people dancing along.

Many more were taking a more passive approach and watching from the sand.

The giant globe that was in Falmouth on Saturday made its way here and there were a number of banners that had messages, including “one people one planet” and “Climate emergency - sound the alarm”.

In Falmouth, a group called Civil 7 has been calling for the leaders of the G7 to “agree a bold and ambitious policy agenda that puts people and the planet at the centre of the world’s recovery”.

Civil 7 is made up of more than 200 civil society organisations from around the world, including Action for Sustainable Development.

Oli Henman is their coordinator and says: “One of the things we have really been struck by in this last year is the overlapping impact of climate, the Covid pandemic and underlying inequalities that so many people are facing.

“We have got a very long way to go - while they have now committed to a billion doses we need to know how those does are actually going to reach people on the ground.

“It is not just access to the vaccine, it’s the ability to get that vaccine through to reach people. We need to build in a whole supply chain and for that we need proper funding.”

Henman adds that Falmouth has been “very welcoming”, saying “there is such a good energy here and local people are clearly getting behind the importance of sustainability”.

World leaders at the G7 summit in Cornwall were treated to a flyover from the Red Arrows.

The closures are the latest in a series to hit Cornwall venues.

The sun is shining again today in St Ives, the closest town to where the G7 summit is being held.

Police officers can be seen using their boats to help with security at the coastal location.

Locals and tourists already in the town are still able to enjoy the views.

There are about 800 members of the media covering the G7 summit.

In Falmouth there are two large marquees set up on Events Square.

One of those working in the International Media Centre is Chinatsu Baba, a reporter with Japanese news agency Jiji Press.

On her first visit to Cornwall, she says: “It is beautiful here, although it was very cold when I first arrived.

"This is my first business trip away since Covid started so it feels special.”

“For Japan, the big issue right now is the Olympics, and the summit will be seen as a failure if there is not support from the other leaders for the Olympics to go ahead."
