This is the adorable moment a schoolboy from Cornwall got a wave from President Biden during the G7 Summit.

Eight-year-old Harry White can be heard shouting excitingly from the cordon at Carbis Bay, 'he waved, he waved'.

He has been watching the world leaders' motorcades and convoys for the last couple of days, along with mum Carly.

Harry, AKA PC Harry, has even been helping police with the traffic and, along with his brother, got to wear some of the officers' clothes!

He said: "It's been wonderful. I've been guiding the traffic and I've had lots of fun with these police".

Other children from the St Ives area have also been meeting police and watching the action, including six-year-old Sonny Heard.

He said: "There is lots of policemen and there's, umm, there's loads of policemen and there are stickers and traffic jams.

"It's hard but it's fun and good. It's hard because we don't use our car because we don't want to be stuck in a traffic jam".
