Coastguards have been co-ordinating a search operation after a man was reported overboard from a French fishing vessel off the Isles of Scilly.

The incident was reported to Falmouth coastguard just after 1900 BST on Wednesday.

A rescue helicopter from HMS Culdrose and a coastguard vessel have been at the scene, 60 miles north west of the Scillies.

The warship HMS Tyne has also been involved in the operation.
