Devoncast - Rishi, railways and remembrance
Devoncast
Friday, 7 June 2024 - 24 minutes
A week so busy that it takes a second episode of Devoncast to fit it all in!
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been in the county as the build-up to the general election on 4 July begins in earnest. Devoncast hears his views on a range of national and local topics.
And that's a steam whistle at the start of the podcast, as the Paignton and Dartmouth Railway hosts a very special engine with a local D-Day link.
Plus, hundreds of people gathered on Torquay harbourside to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when tens of thousands of troops left South Devon's harbours for the beaches of Normandy. Devoncast was there to report on an emotional gathering.
