A five-year-old boy tragically lost his life after falling off a harbour wall. Benjamin Cullis had been out fishing and crabbing with his dad and younger brother when he tripped and fell in Padstow harbour, Cornwall.
Benjamin, who was described as a "popular and happy boy" at an inquest into his death, saw him hit the side of a moored yacht before disappearing briefly under water on June 24.
