A search for three crew missing from a French trawler which sank off Cornwall on Thursday has been called off.

Two bodies were recovered by a rescue helicopter on Thursday after an air and sea search was launched following the loss of the Cap Burgaled Breiz, about 14 miles south-west of Lizard Point.

But nothing was found during Friday's search by a Royal Navy rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose.

Two empty life rafts were spotted during Thursday's intensive air and sea search of the area, which at one stage involved 13 vessels and two helicopters covering 127 square miles.
