Photographs show the moment President Biden went to church in St Ives during the G7 Summit in Cornwall.

Joe Biden and wife Jill reportedly sat near the back of the Sacred Heart and St. la Catholic Church on Sunday.

The US leader, pictured wearing a face mask, was said to have made a "substantial donation" to the collection.

His motorcade was then seen driving back through the town, to the delight of suprised onlookers and visitors.

President Biden and wife Jill left Tregenna Castle on board Marine One later that afternoon, flanked by V-22 Ospreys.

They had a private audience with the Queen at Windsor Castle, including afternoon tea!
