The Devon Stage was the result of a lot of hard work from services all across the county. So we just felt a little appreciation post was needed π Here's just a few photos of those helping out.

The Devon stage of the Tour of Britain has finished, but Queen St and New North Rd remain closed and the centre remains busy as prizes are awarded, crowds disperse and event structures removed. Thank you for your patience!
