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.

:04:33.:04:35.

so she could have a pioneering type of hair extensions for people

:04:36.:04:38.
