A community in North Devon has come together for a spectacular event to remember villagers who were killed during the First World War. A quarter of the men from Northlew who went off to fight never returned. Proportionally the village lost more men than anywhere else in Britain.
3D images have been projected onto homes around the village square depicting images of the Somme and the destruction of battle. A cascade of poppies falling across the buildings, brought a sombre conclusion along with a roll-call of those who died.
A simple stone memorial in the village church carries the names of 22 men who died. Research for this project uncovered four more. So of the 100 men who left this village to fight, more than a quarter never came back.
As well as the light show, villagers gathered for a commemoration in the square. There were marching bands, prayers and a fly-past by a 1917 biplane. A community vowing to never forget, 100 years since the start of the war.
