Day two of the Falmouth Tall Ships saw crowds of people enjoy the sunshine with a crew parade, ship tours, live music, and a laser show.

The Parade of Sail may now have been cancelled due to poor weather forecasts, but if you haven't had the chance to get into town this week why not look through some photos from around Falmouth?

There was lots of people enjoying the live music on Discovery Quay. (Image: Max Goodman/ Nub News)

A crew parade took place through the streets of Falmouth with lots of cultures, colours, and sounds on show. We may have not got many photos but that is because we did two live streams of the parade that you can find on our Facebook page.

On the first day of the tours, there were plenty of complaints about the large queues for the earlier trips. The problems seemed to have improved on Wednesday and by the time I headed on my tour at 5 pm you could walk through the main queue extremely quickly.

However, there were still queues for both boats once you were inside. The queues were fairly quick to get on although there was a wait to get back off the boats.

Seeing the ships and the sails all together was a spectacular sight. (Image: Nub News/ Max Goodman)
