In pictures: World leaders bask in Cornwall sun at G7 summit

The G7 summit in the resort of Carbis Bay in Cornwall, in the south-west of England, has seen the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the US and UK gather in person for the first time since the pandemic.

Here are pictures from the event.

The second day of the G7 summit on Saturday took place amid blue skies and summery temperatures - and appropriately wrapped up with a beachside barbecue. Carrie and Boris Johnson's one-year-old son, Wilfred, was introduced to the guests.

A display by the RAF's Red Arrows captivated the G7 leaders.

Members of the public also turned out to watch the Red Arrows over Carbis Bay.

Boris Johnson hosted a press conference at the end of the summit - outlining a pledge to donate one billion doses of Covid vaccines to poorer countries.

After leaving Cornwall, US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden met the Queen for tea at Windsor Castle.

Earlier on Sunday, they were pictured attending Mass at a church in St Ives, near the G7 summit venue.

The prime minister was up early on Sunday morning, taking a dip in the sea ahead of the final days of talks.

The prime minister was greeted by his wife Carrie after the swim.

The tensions of Saturday's discussions on Northern Ireland appeared to be put aside as French President Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson chatted at the barbecue.

The discussions among the leaders continued earlier in the day - against the stunning backdrop of the Cornish coast.

Carrie Johnson and US First Lady Jill Biden - as well as France's Brigitte Macron - visited the open air Minack Theatre on the cliffs at Porthcurno.

Sunday's business began with the PM meeting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Most of the discussions over the three day summit are taking place behind closed doors.

Mr Johnson greeted France's President Mr Macron with an elbow bump as their spouses, Carrie Johnson (right) and Brigitte Macron (left), looked on. Global coronavirus vaccinations and climate change are due to be the focus of the summit between the leaders of the seven nations.

And US President Biden and French President Macron also made the most of the sunny weather on Saturday by posing outside as they met for talks.

Later on, protesters took part in a mass paddle at Gyllyngvase Beach near Falmouth, as part of a campaign by Surfers Against Sewage.

Separately, climate change protesters organised by Extinction Rebellion walked through Falmouth's town centre.

All eyes were on the Queen as she joined leaders for a reception at the Eden Project on Friday evening.

Ahead of the summit, Britain's Mr Johnson and wife Carrie met US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. After the meeting, Mr Johnson told the BBC the alliance between the US and the UK should be known as the "indestructible relationship".

Extra security saw police officers on a rigid inflatable boat in St Ives.

A local bakery got into the spirit of the event with commemorative G7 pasties.
