SLIDESHOW: Eastbourne pays its respects for Remembrance Sunday
The town came together yesterday (Remembrance Sunday) to remember and honour those who courageously fought, having either suffered or lost their lives fighting for their country.
Beginning with a parade from the Arndale Centre, standard bearers and contingents included organisations such as 4 Platoon B (Royal Sussex) Company 3 Princess of Wales’ Royal Regiment, The Rotary Clubs, St John’s Ambulance and Police Cadets who all united for the march.
