THOUSANDS took to Eastbourne Seafront to see the traditional bonfire procession make its way along the promenade featuring societies from throughout Sussex.
Unfortunately, ‘unpredictable’ weather conditions forced the cancellation of the bonfire and fireworks displays which normally complete the evening.
The organisers announced: “We are extremely disappointed to announce that there will be no fireworks tonight. The safety of the public remains our number 1 priority, and after a test fire, it is clear that it would not be safe to proceed with the display due to ongoing strong, unpredictable weather.
Nobody is more disappointed than we are and we thank you for your continued support. Please give generously as the procession moves down to ensure that Mankind, this year’s charity does not miss out.”
