A charity has removed more than a tonne of rubbish from some of the most remote coastlines in the UK.

Clean Ocean Sailing's team of 16 Cornwall-based volunteers collected just under 1.3 tonnes of plastic, fishing gear and other waste from nine islands around the Isles of Scilly during a three-week expedition.

The project builds on previous clean-up missions in Scilly, where ocean currents carry debris from across the Atlantic and deposit it on beaches.
