Plymouth is marking the 30th anniversary of a horrific homophobic attack on two gay men in the city.
Terry Sweet and Bernard Hawken were brutally beaten and left for dead in Central Park in November 1995.
It was a case which had far-reaching consequences for policing, inclusivity and the city’s relationship with its LGBT community.
In a special report, ITV News looks at new figures showing hate crimes linked to gender and sexual orientation are increasing across Devon and Cornwall – and some gay, transgender and non-binary people say they still do not feel safe reporting incidents to the police.
