A spokesman for Worthing Borough Council said; “It is distressing that some mindless individuals have seen fit to disrespect a place that is about remembrance, peace and tranquillity.

“We ask anyone who may know something about this to contact Sussex police.”

Previous vandalism at the cemetery has led to it being locked at night, the spokesman said.
