Dozens gathered at the town’s Burma Star Memorial on Phoenix Lane on Thursday, November 11 for Armistice Day.
Leading the ceremony was chairman of Mid Devon District Council, Councillor Ray Radford with Sharon McCallum playing in the Last Post.
Cllr Radford said that even though the two minutes silence began more than ten minutes before the 11.00am time, it was still as poignant as ever.
He said: “I was really proud to come and do this on behalf of the district council.
“The weather was kind to us and although we were a little bit ahead of time, it’s better early rather than late.”
