Churches in the Old Town in Hastings came together on Good Friday (April 5) for the Procession of Witness and Stations of the Cross.

The annual event featured a costumed procession, with a man depicting Jesus at the head, carrying a cross through the streets, between the two medieval churches of the Old Town.

The procession started at St Clements Church at 10.30am, and finished at All Saints, with a stop at St Mary’s Star of the Sea Catholic church.

Biblical events, relating to the crucifixion, were enacted along the route as the crowds turned out to watch the event.
