    Devon remembers the start of World War One

    Events have been taking place across Devon to mark the centenary of the beginning of the First World War.

    In Exeter Cathedral the lights were switched off at 11pm - the exact time that the war began on August 4th 1914.

    Many people observed the moment by switching off the lights and lighting a single candle in their own homes.

    In Exmouth a commemoration event took place in Strand Gardens in the afternoon and evening (pictured).
