A lifeboat crew successfully rescued an 18m (59ft) fishing boat that had become entangled on a large rope in rough sea conditions.

The Sennen Cove RNLI lifeboat was called out at 21:15 GMT on Sunday to the vessel stuck eight miles offshore.

The lifeboat launched into rough seas and arrived on the scene at about 22:00 and freed the boat, before towing it to Newlyn harbour.

It took four hours to complete the 25-mile journey, arriving at 02:30.
