An Eastbourne dad and his son dressed up as Spider-Man today (April 24) to ‘put a smile on the children’s faces’ during lockdown.

Simon Smith and his son Louis, from Hampden Park, walked around the neighbourhood starting from Parkfield Road to Broderick Road, then to Hazelwood Avenue, Pullborough Avenue and Lindfield Road.

Simon said, “It was just to put a smile on the children’s faces while all on lockdown, who knows maybe Darth Vader next week.”
