A host of events are happening across Exeter and East Devon to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War.
Among the highlights are:
In Exeter, a special service is at the cathedral on Sunday at 4pm and is open to everyone, particularly Devon families with family links to the war.
In Newtown, a cafe in the hut in Belmont Pleasure Ground will remember the 118 men from Newtown who died in the Great War.
On Sunday, visitors to the event, between 2pm and 5pm, will be able to step back 100 years and learn about the Newtown of old, hear about the impact of the war on the community and celebrate the importance and value of being part of Newtown today.
The area suffered badly with German bombs which were aiming for Exeter Cathedral flattening several homes.
In Heavitree there is an exhibition about the First World War at St Michael's School in South Lawn Terrace, on Saturday, August 2, from 10am until 4pm.
It has been organised by the Heavitree Local History Society and Heavitree Community Association.
From 3pm on the day there will be music and songs from the time as well as local residents recalling their memories of 1914 to 1918.
Entry is free and there will be light refreshments available.
A centenary anniversary exhibition is taking place in Exmouth's Strand gardens from midday on Monday, August 4, organised by the town council in conjunction with the Royal British Legion Exmouth branch with support from Exmouth Museum and Churches Together.
The exhibition, hosted by the council during the day and the Royal British Legion branch from 6pm, will include memorabilia, photos and stories of local people. A huge model of a battlefield trench, created by Exmouth Legion members will be exhibited as part of the commemorative event.
Exeter Scouts are joining the national commemoration of the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War by carrying lights to the Tors of Dartmoor and extinguishing them at exactly 11pm on Monday, August 4. This will mark the exact time the First World War started, a century on from the moment when, in the words of Sir Edward Grey, Britain's Foreign Secretary at the time, "the lamps are going out all over Europe".
