Photos of Newquay's exciting events will soon be shown as picture galleries so if you visit Newquay and attend a celebration like the Olympic Torch Relay, Diamond Jubilee weekend, music festivals, Newquay sports or other public events, please check the photos to see if you have been caught on camera.

Here's a few pictures from the huge selection waiting to be published of recent Newquay events - with comments from those appearing in a couple of the photographs. Until the new galleries are available, please go to This is Newquay Facebook page to see more pictures immediately.

Royal Cornwall Show 2012

The Royal Cornwall Show, although not blessed with the finest Cornish weather this year, was still a great day out for one and all - albeit sometimes two days are needed to see everything! The Royal Cornwall Show definitely offers something to be enjoyed by locals and visitors - of all ages and interests - and it is conveniently located within the Royal Cornwall Showground's 100-acre site at Wadebridge.

Two of our pictures show would-be weather presenters, Joanne and her daughter Maisie (aged 5) from Helson, trying out at the BBC TV Spotlight marquee. Jo's husband, Martin said:  "I have attended the show before but it was Jo and Maisie's first time. We all found the show interesting with plenty to do and see for all of us. Maybe next time we will have a couple of days to make sure we see it all."
