There was a large community turnout to witness the event and Haywards Heath Town Council thanked everyone who attended for being part of the 'historic tribute to Her Majesty's 70 years of service'.
Haywards Heath Town Mayor Howard Mundin lit the beacon at 9.45pm and the evening finished with a spectacular firework display at 10pm.
