“This Sunday outside the Bognor Regis Town Hall and in front of the war memorial, we will come together as a town to remember those to whom we owe so much.

“Each year that I have attended the Remembrance Service the number of people who take part seems to grow.

“We all owe thanks and respect to all those men and women who today serve in our armed forces.”
