A Remembrance Day service was held at Woody Bay Station on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway on 11 November for the children of the West Exmoor Federation (Lynton, Parracombe and Kentisbury Primary Schools) led by Rev Samantha Stayte. After the two-minute silence the children planted little wooden crosses in the Garden of Remembrance on the station platform and then went for a ride on the train before returning to school. Axe, the steam engine heading the train, was built in 1915 for service on the Western Front in the First World War supplying food and munitions to the men in the trenches and bringing wounded soldiers back from the front line. The bell on the front of the engine on this occasion came from an armed motor launch (ML 903) which escorted some of the first wave of landing craft on D-Day in 1944.
