Extinction Rebellion campaigners have reached Porthminster Beach in St Ives.

Campaigners have been walking through the town on their 'Sound The Alarm' march protesting for climate justice.

They started in St Ives earlier today.

The theme for the day’s events is a reference to the fact that a wealthy minority of the world’s countries and corporations are the principal cause of the climate and ecological crisis while its adverse effects fall first and foremost on the poor who have done least to contribute to the crisis.

Extinction Rebellion has requested that a delegation of activists from XR and associated movements is allowed inside the security corden surrounding the Carbis Bay hotel to deliver messages from communities on the front line of the climate and ecological emergency to the G7 summit.

Police say the protests have now dispersed and passed through peacefully:
