As Cornwall prepared to host the G7 summit of world leaders, waves of hands appeared in Launceston and in Bude.

Central Methodist Church and South Petherwin Primary School each launched a Wave of Hope in Launceston, formed from hands made by church members and pupils and St Martin’s United Reformed Church also created a Wave of Hope in Bude.

Adding to the wave the pupils from Marhamchurch C of E Primary School created their own waves.
