VIDEO: Eastbourne Silver Band celebrates Easter despite lockdown

Leader Marcus Plant said, “As we were not able to play the annual opening Easter Sunday concert at the Bandstand and wish the town a Happy Easter, we put this together to keep everyone’s spirits up.”

The Plant family also played a special rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow at their home in Willingdon last Thursday night as the nation clapped for the NHS and frontline workers.

A message from the Editor, Gary Shipton:

In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news, I am asking you to please purchase a copy of our newspapers.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our local valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you helping us to provide you with news and information by buying a copy of our newspapers.

Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Stay safe, and best wishes.
