Memorial service for road victims

A special service has taken place in Devon for people who have lost their lives on roads in the South West.

RoadPeace, a charity which supports victims of road accidents and their families, staged its annual service of remembrance in Ashburton.

This was the seventh year that the memorial service was held.

The names of 90 people who have died in road accidents in the region in recent years were read out at the service at St Andrew's Parish Church.
