AIR Cadet Lucy Hemming of Wellesley Park, Wellington, meets former star of television programme Countdown and keen aviator Carole Vorderman in Bristol.

This year is the 75th anniversary of the Air Cadets and to commemorate the event a torch relay has been staged from John O’Groats to Lands End.

Devon and Somerset Air Cadets took part in the relay, receiving the torch at a presentation on the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. Air Cadets Ambassador, Honorary Group Captain Carol Vorderman MBE RAFVR(T), passed the torch from Bristol and Gloucester Wing to Devon and Somerset Wing.

Lucy, 16, a Sergeant in 41F Taunton & District Squadron Air Cadets and Wellington School sixth-former, was chosen to receive the torch and took it to Wells Cathedral, Wookey Hole and Glastonbury Tor before handing it over at Norton Manor Camp.
