In 82 pictures: Bexhill and Little Common Remembrance Day Services remember the fallen

A parade formed up in Devonshire Square in Bexhill town centre at 10.10am and departed at 10.20am.

The parade marched to the War Memorial on the seafront for a service and the laying of wreaths, which started at around 10.45am.

The national two-minute silence was them observed at 11am.

The service concluded at around 11.15am and the parade then marched past the Colonnade for dismissal at approximately 11.40am.

The well-loved Poppy Car returned to Bexhill seafront lawns ahead of the Remembrance Sunday service.

It was decorated and unveiled by members of the Royal British Legion alongside metal silhouettes of soldiers.

The Poppy Car, which is situated in the memorial garden on Bexhill seafront, was the idea of former mayor Cllr Lynn Langlands and she joined in to help decorate it.

Lynn said: “I am delighted to say that the people of Bexhill and its visitors raised an amazing £3,252.12 for the Poppy Appeal collection based at the Poppy Car.

“Thank you so much to everyone who gave a donation this year, which continues to support serving military personnel, veterans, and their families.

“We also collected £457.83 for the Royal British Legion home in Bexhill (Mais House), to support the wellbeing programme for all the service men and women that reside there.

“Thank you to all the councillors, town council staff, friends, colleagues, Bexhill Rotary, our MP and finally my wonderful husband, who helped to make that possible.”

A church service was also held at St Mark's Church in Little Common, starting at 9.45am.

A parade assembled at the church car park after the service and marched to the Little Common War Memorial on the roundabout.

The two-minute silence at 11am was observed before the laying of wreaths at the memorial.

The parade was then dismissed at The Poppy Club at around 11.35am.
