Impressive footage has emerged of some of the biggest waves the UK has experienced this year, caused by Storm Imogen hitting the Cornish coast.

The video, filmed from cliffs at the Western edge of Cornwall yesterday, shows the giant waves crashing against the rocky shore.

People can also be seen watching the storm from the top of a large cliff, which is 200ft high.

According to the filmer, "hundreds of storm watchers went to the coast to watch the fireworks, despite Coastguard warnings to steer clear of the beaches."

According to the Met Office, the seas created by Storm Imogen were 'phenomenal', a word describing the biggest feasible sea state. Consequently some of the biggest waves to hit the UK this year arrived at the western edge of the UK today, in Cornwall. The resulting spectacular show of unstoppable oceanic power meeting immovable granite cliffs is known in this part of the world as 'Cornish Fireworks'.

Hundreds of storm watchers went to the coast to watch the fireworks, despite Coastguard warnings to steer clear of the beaches.

One of the finest firework displays on record!
