An open top bus parade and Civic Reception will be held next week to celebrate Exeter City’s promotion to League One.
The parade will begin in Exeter High Street from 6pm on Monday 9 May.

High Street will be closed to traffic for the parade, which will start when two open...

Exeter City has successfully rehomed around 3,300 shares following a recent drive to find missing shareholders.
Over recent months, volunteers at the club have worked to find people - or relatives of those - who had bought £1 shares in the club, which had been issued a number of times to raise capital.
Most people acquired them because they were fans and wanted to support the club, and as such were primarily of sentimental value. The earliest shares dated back to the 1930s and had been passed down through people’s families.
Thanks to the volunteering of Soccersixes staff and referees, through lockdown the 6aside league managed to raise and donate £2,025 to the NHS.
The 6-a-side league provider who usually operate 6-a-side leagues outdoors on 3G pitches decided during lockdown to help the NHS and to therefore operate an e-soccer online FIFA gaming tournament and raised the £2,025 with all profit going to the NHS.
Soccersixes spokesman Sean Uppal said: ‘We wanted to do something to help in the pandemic and one of our referees mentioned doing a charity online gaming tournament. Our staff and...
