Royal Wedding: West Sussex celebrates

Dozens of official street parties were organised while hundreds more barbecues and smaller get-togethers were held in gardens and on village greens.

Many of the county’s residents made the trip to London to savour the atmosphere and catch a glimpse of the wedding couple.

Colin Bickers, from Worthing, was interviewed on BBC TV after completing a 65-mile walk in a suit of armour from the town to Buckingham Palace.

He set off on St George’s Day and raised more than £3,000 for Help the Heroes and the Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice, near Arundel.

See the West Sussex Gazette on Wednesday for a souvenir edition of how the county celebrated the Royal Wedding.
