Photos: Bexhill marks Remembrance Day with annual parade and service

Date:

HUNDREDS of residents, veterans and officials paid their respects this morning (Sunday) at the town’s war memorial to remember those who died for their country.

The parade was led from Devonshire Square down to the seafront War Memorial, where the service, led by Reverend David Lockwood, was held and attended by councillors, local groups, dignitaries, and local cadet groups.

Two minutes silence was held after the last post was played at 11 O’Clock and then wreaths were laid at the memorial by many of the groups and councillors in attendance.

The Kohima Epitaph was then read by the Chairman of the Bexhill Branch of the Royal British Legion.

Thanks were expressed to Bexhill Town Council for ensuring the parade and ceremony could take place.

More photos will appear in the next edition of Bexhill News.
