Good evening. A 60-year-old man has died after saving his son when | :00:06. | :00:08. | |
disaster struck a family fishing trip on the north Cornwall coast. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
The pair were both swept into the sea near Delabole. The 27-year-old | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
has been praised for trying to save his father. Rescuers described the | :00:14. | :00:24. | |
scene as harrowing. Spotlight's Matt Pengelly reports. It was meant | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
to be a father and son fishing trip on Easter Sunday. But just after | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
half past eight in the morning it turned to tragedy. It seems the | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
younger man slipped and fell into the sea. His father scrambled up | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
the cliff to fetch an emergency lifeboat. But he then fell into the | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
water himself. As full-scale rescue operation was launched, with the | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
helicopter, coastguard teams and the inshore lifeboat teams. But the | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
older man did not survive. I think the son should be proud of his | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
father, for doing what would come naturally I think to any father. | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
But on the same side, I think the father would be looking down on his | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
son proud of the way he looked after his dad in such a difficult | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
situation. When we turneded -- turned up, the son was supporting | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
his father and doing everything he could to keep him off the rocks A | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
harrowing situation, but a very brave young man. The dead man has | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
not been formally identified. His son has now left hospital. | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
Elsewhere, two groups of hl day makers were rescued from a kaech in | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
west Cornwall after they were cut off by the tide. Guernsey Police | :01:53. | :01:56. | |

late on Friday night. Formal identification has yet to take | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
place, but the police say he was 46-year-old Robert Blakemore. Two | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
other people - believed to be the man's parents - were evacuated from | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
the property unharmed. Police say there's no link to terrorism. Two | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
families have been left homeless after fire ripped through a | :02:12. | :02:15. | |

until we came around the back and I saw my bedroom, just completely, | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
that was when... Just in shock. I still feel, it is just awful. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Volunteers from the village joined firefighters. One of the families | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
managed to get most of the thing out belonging to the children in | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
the common areas. On the other side it was getting wet and it was | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
unsafe. It was almost impossible to get the belongings out in the | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
lounge and the kitchen. Theed by rooms areed soen. The two families | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
who rented the building had a lucky escape. It was occupied, everyone | :03:16. | :03:20. | |

Still the risk of a few showers and still breezy. Tomorrow we start off | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
with sunshine, but the showers are never too far away and they will | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
continue through the day. Lowest temperature three or four degrees. | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
There will be some sunshine, but some sharp showers. That is the | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
prospect for whole day. Eleven, maybe 12 degrees the top | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
temperature. By the time of Wednesday, the showers more | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
isolated, but still there. And north-west winds making it feel | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
cool. Temperatures of ten to 12 degrees. To the end of the week on | :07:26. | :07:30. | |

showers and also on we're back into a more normal pattern of April | :07:39. | :07:44. |
