Penlee lifeboat Ivan Ellen had a busy day - although her excursions to sea were not in anger unlike 83 lifeboat stations in the last 24 hours! - after picking up Olympic medallist Helen Glover from Penzance Harbour she made a quick dash to Mousehole.........
before returning to Newlyn ......
to drop Helen off in Newlyn in front of the lifeboat house.......
for her ride in an open top bus through Newlyn and Penzance.........
outside the family business the crowds packed the pavement.........
and for a few seconds, sales of Jelbert's Ice Cream were suspended in the now gold painted shop.......
with a cracking window display courtesy of Glover family friends Grandma Pascoe and granddaughter Sophie......
coming up Market Jew Street.......
accompanied by some of the local torch bearers.
