SUNSHINE greeted more than 50 people who volunteered to take part in the Great Cornish Litter Pick at Bude's Summerleaze Beach on Sunday.

The event, one of ten taking place simultaneously at beaches across Cornwall, was organised by Volunteer Cornwall and Clean Cornwall in response to the weeks of stormy weather.

Summerleaze Beach clean organiser Ian Saltern said: "It is a community exercise to show our visitors that Cornwall is open for business and to provide local people with an opportunity to 'do their bit' to help clean up after the storms of recent weeks."
