Organisers of a surfing competition in Cornwall said they were forced to cancel the event due to sewage in what they described as an "absolute first".

Surfing England called off the English Interclub Surfing Championships in Porthtowan on Sunday after the local council red-flagged the beach because of a sewage discharge.

Hannah Brand, from Surfing England, said: "We've never had to cancel events due to a sewage output [before] - we couldn't believe it."
