Eastbourne will pause to remember those who lost their lives in wartime conflict, and those who continue to serve, during a series of Remembrance events next month.
The town’s annual Service of Remembrance will take place on Sunday 10 November at the War Memorial, traditionally attended by hundreds of residents and visitors.
It will begin with a parade at 10.25am from Terminus Road precinct, along Cornfield Road to the War Memorial. A thanksgiving service will include a two minutes’ silence at 11am and the official wreath laying.
To facilitate the event a number of road closures will be put in place between 10am and 1pm.
Other Remembrance Services include:
- Concert of Remembrance with Eastbourne Silver Band will take place at Our Lady of Ransom Church in Grange Road on Sunday 3 November at 2.30pm.
- Sunday 10 November a service at the Ruthless Memorial at Butts Brow will honour the crew who lost their lives when the World War II USAAF liberator bomber crashed into the downland above Willingdon in 1944. The service begins at 3pm, meeting at Butts Brow car park at 2.45pm.
- Monday 11 November there will be a service at 10.45am at the War Memorial Houses in Victoria Drive attended by the Mayor of Eastbourne.
