Good evening. That's it, | :00:11. | :00:11. | |
France's highest honour has been awarded to the family of a Plymouth | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
WWII veteran who died just three weeks ago. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
Bill Bannister was the last survivor of the | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
attack on the docks at St Nazaire in France. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
He lived to age 98 after being a stoker on one of the motor boats. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Today's ceremony took place in Falmouth from where | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
The band of HMS Seahawk led the raid to the St Nazaire memorial | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
It is 75 years since HMS Campbeltown and 18 smaller boats, | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
along with over 600 crew and commandos, left here | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
Today, armed services personnel and representatives of service | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
charities and organisations watched as Bill Bannister's daughter | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
In fact, the Sunday before he died, he came to my house and he said, | :00:55. | :01:11. | |
"Look, I think I will be able to stand without a stick." | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
And sadly he died, but he was really looking forward to this, | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
But I was equally pleased the family accepted to be presented | :01:20. | :01:29. | |
Operation Chariot was a huge success. | :01:30. | :01:45. | |
It stopped German warships using the dock at St Nazaire | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
which was out of use for the rest of the war. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Today on the 75th anniversary of what has become known | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
as the Greatest Raid, their sacrifice was remembered. | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
A road in East Devon remains closed this evening after a collision | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Two other vehicles were involved in the accident which happened | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
between Dunkeswell and Honiton around seven this morning. | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
One person received serious arm injuries. | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
Onto a busy day of sport, and Exeter Chiefs have failed | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
in their bid to win the first trophy of the domestic rugby season. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
They lost 16-12 to Leicester Tigers in the final of the Anglo Welsh Cup. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
It was a disappointment for their big support | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Getting ready for the latest big day in the rise of the Exeter Chiefs. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
More than 1000 fans travelled from Devon to London, | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
We will win quite handsomely, probably by about 25 points. | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
We're going to play really well, and if we have a good score | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
performance, we will bring home the cup. | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
At Twickenham Stoop, a young Chiefs side was aiming | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
James Short on the end of a good passing move, | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
and his pace gave the Leicester defence no chance of catching him. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
But the Tigers responded and took control of the game. | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
Tom Brady intercepting another Exeter passing move, and he scored. | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
It was converted, and another two penalties saw the Chiefs | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
No points were scored in the second half until the 78th minute, | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
when after 39 phases of play, Sam Simmons finally breached | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
But there was not enough time to secure the win, | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
so it was defeat in the final of this competition for the Chiefs | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
There was disappointment too for the Plymouth Raiders | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
who were in the BBL Trophy final in Glasgow against | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
The Raiders were always the underdogs and Leicester showed | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
why they were favourites with a strong start. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Of their 19 attempts in the first quarter the Raiders only managed | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
to score three times, meaning the writing | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
Despite a valiant fight back the Riders ran away with it | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
We will have more than this on the late news and 810 10:20pm. -- on the | :04:07. | :04:23. | |
late news at 10:20pm. A Plymouth woman who felt | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
she lost her femininity after years of intensive treatment for breast | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
cancer has had her 29-year-old Kat Roberts' hair never | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
fully grew back after chemotherapy but her friends raised funds | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
so she could have a pioneering type of hair extensions for people | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
with extreme hair loss. Oh, it's amazing, | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
I can't believe it. And you can find out more | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
about Kat's inspiring story on Inside out tomorrow night, | :04:43. | :04:51. | |

next week as we will have a blast of Arctic air across the UK making it | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
