The Conservatives have retained overall control of Devon county council for the next four years, following the local elections.
They now hold 38 of the 62 seats - that's three seats fewer than when they were voted into power in 2009.
Labour took two seats in Exeter from the Lib Dems to take their numbers at County Hall to seven - and the UK Independence Party took a 23 per cent share of the overall vote and gained four seats on the council, for the first time.
Independent candidates won three seats while the Green party took one, in Totnes.
