Prince William Arrives in Cornwall for St Piran's Day
Prince William thanked emergency responders for their efforts during Storm Goretti and convened senior leaders to discuss lessons and community cohesion after one of Cornwall's worst storms.
- Today, the Prince of Wales visited Cornwall for St Piran's Day, meeting firefighters and multi-agency responders at Helston Community Fire Station after making pasties at Gear Farm, Lizard peninsula.
- Kensington Palace said the visit will highlight community resilience after Storm Goretti, which it described as one of the most severe storms to impact the county in recent years, supported by Helston's on‑call team supporting residents and returning the next day.
- A fatal incident left a 50‑year‑old dead when a tree crushed a caravan, crew manager Craig Peters said crews faced live wires and strong winds, while Kathryn Billing said 20 tonnes of material were removed.
- Officials plan a round‑table to reflect on lessons learned, with ACC Thorne stating the response was a full collaboration across agencies.
- The Prince of Wales noted `I hear tree surgeons were in high demand` as mainland crews helped after the storm, which also affected the Isles of Scilly.
