THE residents of Teignbridge turned out in force on Remembrance Sunday to honour those who had died in all conflicts since the First World War.

In Ashburton residents gathered at the town’s war memorial for a wreath-laying ceremony before parading for a service at the church.

A parade marched through Bovey Tracey to a service at the town’s parish church after which wreaths were laid at the war memorial, while in Newton Abbot, Teignmouth and Dawlish the towns fell silent as the last post sounded and the two minute silence was observed.

And at Powderham Church a single poppy wreath commemorating nine men from the hamlet who fell in World War I and four in World War II was lit by the setting sun as the day of remembrance came to a close.
