The 50th Kingskerswell Annual Autumn Show, on Saturday, was a great success.

The village hall was packed with entries in the 150 classes, which included vegetables, flowers, floral arrangements on the theme of Our Golden Year, handicrafts, baking, preserves and photography.

Youngsters also got involved and had the chance to make pop-up greetings cards and decorated pumpkins for the event.

Said chairman John Yeo: 'We were pleased with both the number and standard of entries, particularly when you think of the growing season we have had this year.'
