Newton Abbot Civic Service

Newton Abbot Town Council held it's annual Civic Service for the Mayor, Cllr. David Howe in the lovely setting of St. Paul's Church, Devon Square. The theme of the Service was Youth in the Community with young people very much to the fore and a film of local children re-enacting wartime evacuee experiences, complete with period dress, ration books and labels. The polished Choir 86 performed a programme of choral music, including a delightful setting of Leonard Cohen's "Halleluiah"
