A spokesperson from Eastbourne Carnival said, “This is our theme for this year and we encourage everyone to bring out their creativity, performance and celebrate the Queen’s 70-year reign – and of course entertain our fabulous town and its visitors.”
This summer will see the full-scale carnival return for the first time in three years as covid forced the event to be scrapped in 2020 while a smaller parade took place last year.
