A passenger has been airlifted from a cruise ship in a rescue co-ordinated by coastguards in Falmouth.
The coastguard rescue helicopter R924 was scrambled to the ship, which was 42 miles west-southwest of Bishop's Rock on the Isles of Scilly.
Onboard a passenger had been taken ill and needed immediate treatment in hospital.
They were lifted onboard the helicopter and taken to Truro, where a landing site had been cleared at Boscawen Park by members of Falmouth Coastguard Rescue.
The passenger was then carried on a stretcher by the team onto an ambulance, to be taken the rest of the way to the Royal Cornwall Hospital.
Boscawen Park is the backup landing site for helicopters when the hospital's helipad is out of action or the weather is too bad to land.
