Swapping his mayoral chains for his lifejacket, Ilfracombe's Mayor Councillor Bob Thompson will be taking his place at the starting line of the Lundy Yacht Race on Sunday 30^th May.

Ilfracombe Town Council asked residents back in August last year what it was about Ilfracombe that made it such an appealing place to live and then to capture it on film. The response was phenomenal as over 150 photographs were submitted ranging from tranquil sunsets to fun beach scenes, twinkling harbour lights and even a seagull!
