Today, Devon and Cornwall Police marked an end to their 50-year anniversary celebrations by burying a time capsule which will remain underground for another 50 years.

The ceremony took place around the flagpole at the Police Headquarters at Middlemoor in Exeter, and contained materials ranging from a police choir record to this week’s regional newspapers, all representing a snapshot of life to be unearthed in 2067.’

The capsule was full of police memorabilia including letters from Police Cadets, including Liskeard Police Cadets.
