Photos: Hailsham pauses to remember fallen at annual parade and ceremony

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.

Reverend Peter Clark led the ceremony which was attended by council leaders, local groups, veterans and representatives from the armed forces.

A parade was led from the Vicarage Field car park to the memorial and two minutes silence was held after the last post was played.

Wreaths were laid at the memorial by many of the groups and councillors in attendance.

The Chairman of the Royal British Legion, Hailsham and District Branch thanked the residents of Hailsham for attending and supporting the Poppy Appeal throughout the year.

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