G7 live: Raab suggests it was ‘offensive’ for Macron to imply Northern Ireland not full part of UK




10:24

There was huge excitement at the church of the Sacred Heart and St Ia in St Ives when Joe and Jill Biden arrived for morning mass.

The president was 15 minutes late as his cavalcade negotiated the twisting streets of the harbourside town.

Parishioner Ann Buckleysaid: “It was an ordinary mass. He didn’t arrive on time. He missed father’s sermon. Father didn’t wait for him. He has another mass in Penzance to get to. It’s not every day you see the president of the US.”

Her brother, Martin, was disappointed that Boris Johnson hadn’t visited too: “Boris gets married Westminster Cathedral but doesn’t come here. What a golden opportunity and he didn’t come.”

This is from Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs.
