"He gave a lifetime of faithful service to Her Majesty and the country and left a lasting legacy with the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme which has benefitted so many Devon youngsters over the years.
"I am proud to have been able to attend this sad but important occasion which will probably be one of my last official engagements as mayor."
