On Sunday 7th of May Coronation celebrations in Probus quickly turned into an emergency situation with a woman airlifted from the roof of St Probus and Grace church.

Emergency services had closed off the village with Police, ambulance, and fire brigade all in attendance.

Also helping to assist with the situation was the Falmouth Coastguard Rescue Team who yesterday released a statement, they said:

"We were tasked yesterday afternoon to assist South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust as part of a multiagency response to a 'Person Rescue' at St Probus and St Graces Church, Probus.

"We responded alongside Portscatho Coastguard Rescue Team, full-time Senior Coastal Operations Officer S11D, and resources from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service Devon & Cornwall Police Cornwall Air Ambulance Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust Major Trauma Doctor along with a Coastguard Rescue Helicopter from St Athan, South Wales.

"The person was winched from the church roof by the Coastguard Helicopter and passed to attending Ambulance crews."
