FEWER people than in previous years turned out for the Dedication of the Garden of Remembrance in a part of Crediton Parish Church yard on Saturday morning when drizzle threatened.

The Rev David Francis dedicated the Garden and Crediton Royal British Legion branch president John Shaw read the Exhortation and the Kohima Epitaph.

The Legion standard was carried by Mike May and among those present was branch chairman Pam Dobson, vice chairman John Higgs and the local Poppy Appeal Organiser Jane Sansom.
