TWELVE-year-old Simon Cornish from Laneast has become the third member of his family to be crowned a champion at the Eden Project's prestigious World Pasty Championships on Saturday.

Simon joins his elder brother, Henry, who won the Open Savoury Junior category last year and his father, Graham, who won both Cornish and Open Savoury professional categories in the competition's inaugural year, 2012.

The competition is now in its third year and Simon, who won the Cornish Pasty Junior category, was one of almost 150 entries, the biggest field in its history.
