ID for slender weed

[Maedin Tureaud]

Would someone please help me identify this weed/wildflower? Species ID, ideally.

I found it growing on the coast in the north of Devon. It was an area of long grass, prickly grass, hedge, and wildflowers. Picture taken early August.

Thank you!

Looks like a Knapweed (of some kind) to me.

That's Common Knapweed Centaurea nigra
