Burgess Hill remembers

The day began with a parade through the Town Centre, led by Mid Sussex Brass Band. Veterans, youth organisations, community groups, and local organisations proudly took part, making their way to the War Memorial Garden in remembrance and unity.

A service was held at the War Memorial Garden, where wreaths were laid in tribute to those who gave their lives in service to their countries.

At 11am, attendees observed a two-minute silence. Following the service, members of the public were invited to attend a service at St John the Evangalist Church.

The commemorations were organised by Burgess Hill Town Council with support from the Royal British Legion. The Council thanked Burgess Hill Bonfire Society for their support on the day and Mid Downs Radio for providing sound and technical assistance.

A representative from Burgess Hill Town Council said it's grateful to everyone who attended, marched, volunteered, and contributed to the commemorations. In particular, the veterans who joined us. Deputy Town Mayor, David Eggleton said, "Remembrance gives us the opportunity to come together as a community to honour all those who served and sacrificed. So many residents, organisations, and young people paid their respects, ensuring that their memory continues to live on and we never take peace for granted.”
