Youngsters dressed up traditional bonfire society stripes and took part in their own procession, which took place slightly earlier than the main torchlit procession.
Children also took part in a Guy making competition and displayed their impressive Guys at The Stade Hall where they were judged by Hastings Mayor James Bacon.
Hastings Bonfire Society founder Keith Leech said: “We are vey proud to have a junior procession.”
