At 12.43pm yesterday (12th November), HM Coastguard received a report of three people in potential difficulty after reportedly being washed off rocks and into the water at Tubby's Head, St Agnes, Cornwall.

Yesterday afternoon, two people were able to self-recover out of the water to safety and were passed into the care of the South Western Ambulance Service.

However, the search for a third person remains ongoing. Shoreline and coastal searches re-commenced at 8am local time today (13th November) and are ongoing. Multiple assets also completed searches into the early hours of this morning.
