Pictures of the G7 Summit in Cornwall - protests, leaders and beaches

From Presidents and extra police, to protests and limited edition pasties. The county has become the centre of attention for many as the leaders of seven countries from around the world meet in St Ives to discuss topics such as climate change and how they can have a stronger world system to protect us from future pandemics.

The photo collection shows a glimpse of all the action as the eyes of the world descend on Cornwall. Extinction Rebellion protests have certainly caught they eye, with major demonstrations taking place on both land and sea.

A number of the Royal Family including the Queen are due to attend a banquet at the Eden Project on Friday evening to meet the leaders of the G7 countries, meanwhile on Friday the Duchess of Cambridge met with US First Lady Jill Biden to visit children at Connor Downs Primary School near Hayle.

The 47th Summit will run between June 11-13.
