Judges from across the south gathered at Chichester Cathedral on Friday for the High Sheriff of West Sussex’s annual judges’ service. Vice Lord-Lieutenant of West Sussex Sir Richard Kleinwort was welcomed ahead of a civic procession of mayors and council chairmen.

The shrieval procession of judges and High Sheriffs was led by police cadets. The Hon Mr Justice Philip Moor, the presiding judge, and HHJ Christine Laing, the resident judge and honorary recorder of Brighton and Hove, gave readings during the service.

It touched everyone deeply that the service was held just hours after the stabbing of Essex MP Sir David Amess. Read the full story here: www.chichester.co.uk/news/crime/high-sheriff-of-west-sussexs-annual-judges-service-without-them-we-would-be-lost-3422666
