Three pieces of artwork have been erected at Honiton Train Station to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

The artwork has been created in collaboration between the Thelma Hulbert Gallery, Honiton Town Council and Friends of Honiton Station with the support of South Western Railway and the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership.

The theme for the artwork was 'Transport through the Ages.'

Children from Littletown Primary Academy, Honiton Community College, Thelma Hulbert's Masterpieces and members of the Honiton Carers Support Group all contributed work.

The work features a number of striking images, one of which depicts children evacuated by train in World War II.

A spokesperson for The Friends of Honiton Station said: "It is lovely to see the whole community coming together ready to celebrate this once in a lifetime event.

"We were delighted to join together with so many local people to make this Jubilee art project such a success. We hope that everyone who visits the station will enjoy looking at these fantastic banners."
