An autographed picture of Edward, Prince of Wales, surfing in Hawaii in 1920 is one of the highlights of a new exhibition at the Museum of British Surfing in Devon.

He was being given surfing lessons at Waikiki beach during a visit to the Pacific islands.
The Museum of British Surfing in Braunton features surfboards and memorabilia tracing more than 200 years of national involvement with the sport.
