Beauty queen Renee Farquharson has missed out on taking the crown in a national competition.
Renee, who is Miss Shropshire, lost out on taking the Miss England title to Miss Cambridgeshire Carina Tyrell.
The 18-year-old from Wellington had been in Torquay since Saturday competing in various rounds to get through to the finals yesterday.
The Newport Girls High student also took two of her A-level exams at Torquay Girls Grammar School in between competing in the final.

Unfortunately, the county beauty didn't make it into the top 15 finalists.
Winner Carina Tyrrell, 24, is a student doctor who won four of the rounds during the night. This included the eco-round, beachwear and the charity round, Beauty with a Purpose.
Coming in second place was Miss Leicestershire, 22-year-old Holly Desai. Third place was given to Miss Lancashire, 23-year-old Mary-Kate McKay.
The winner of Miss England, will now go on to compete for the Miss World title at a ceremony in London this year.
