A sewage spill has forced the closure of St Mawes harbour on Cornwall's Roseland peninsula - a cherished seaside retreat long favoured by the Royal Family.The picturesque fishing village, where the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother regularly brought the young Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret for coastal holidays, shut its harbour on Monday after untreated sewage poured into the water for between two and five hours.A burst pipe on Sunday evening was responsible for the discharge, which transformed the harbour's typically pristine waters into a murky green.The St Mawes Pier and Harbour Company warned visitors to steer clear of all contact with the seawater for "a minimum of 48 hours" following the incident, while the Environment Agency confirmed that sewage was being removed by tanker as South West Water worked to repair the damaged main.
