The Dean of Truro Cathedral has told ITV News that the increase in his congregation at Christmas is like the swell of Cornwall's population during the summer months.

The reason for this, he says, is because at Christmas the relevance of the church and its place in people's lives is laid out.

Whether for a church service or carol concert, Christmas is when the most people walk through the doors of Truro Cathedral.
