Team GB ice-skaters have opened the temporary festive rink at Westpoint - which raises money for farmers in Devon.

The 1,200 square metre covered Winter rink is overseen by the Devon County Agricultural Association, which owns the arena.

This year's Winter rink includes new rides and stalls and runs though until January 4, excluding Christmas Day.

Professional Figure Skater Coach Chris Boyadji, a former multiple British Champion and British Ice Skating's Coach of the Year brought a team of top-flight talent to perform for the opening - including step-daughter Zarah, who demonstrated parts of the routine she performed for Team GB earlier this year.
