The day started with a parade - which included Sea cadets, Royal Air Force cadets, Army cadets and Police cadets, as well as veterans, Cubs, Beavers and Girl Guides - and ended at St John's Baptist Church.

This was followed by a service led by Revd Steve Burston where people inside and outside of the church could hear, before a the wreath-laying ceremony at the War Memorial.

MP Henry Smith, acting Mayor Morgan Flack, Deputy Lieutenant Julia Aisbitt, West Sussex County Council representative Bob Lanzer and Crawley Borough Council chief executive Natalie Brahma-Pearl all laid wreaths as well as representatives from all the cadet groups, the Police, The Breakfast Cub, SSAFA and, in their 100th year, the Royal British Legion.

Captain Paul Furber kept everyone who attended informed on what was going on and who was laying the wreaths.
