THE star attraction at this year's show did not disappoint, as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police wowed the crowds in the main ring.

The Mounties performed their popular musical ride twice a day at the show.

Show secretary Mrs Ollie Allen said: 'This is a real coup for the show. Devon is the only place they will appear in the UK apart from in HM The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant.

'The Mounties dressed in red serge uniforms and flat brimmed stetsons and riding their black horses is iconic. What makes their visit so extra special is that they are happy to meet visitors between performances.'

The Mounties made their last appearance in Devon 12 years ago.
