In 31 pictures: Hastings honours the fallen on Remembrance Sunday

Veterans were joined by members of local youth organisations to lay poppy wreaths at the war memorial in Alexandra park for the Remembrance Day ceremony on Sunday November 8.

Hundreds gathered in the park to take part or witness the ceremony. Among those laying wreaths were Hastings Mayor Paula Warne.

In attendance were representatives from the emergency service as well as members of Hastings RNLI, Hastings Winkle Club and Hastings Bonfire Society. Also attending was a delegation from the Hastings twin town of Oudenaarde.

Colours were lowered during the ceremony as a mark of respect and the Last Post was played.

The event started with a civic parade with organisations and uniformed groups, making its way from the Town Hall, along Queens Road, towards the park.

The lights in Bottle Alley were turned red in honour of Remembrance Day.
