Three surfers have died after getting into difficulty in the sea off a beach in Cornwall, police say.

The two men and a woman were among seven people who had to be rescued at Mawgan Porth, near Newquay.

Coastguards received "multiple 999 calls" from people at about 13:15 GMT when the trio got into trouble.

Inspector Dave Meredith, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said that "our thoughts and condolences... go out to the families of those involved".
