Colourful laser beams flashed through the night sky and lit up the sea as part of a striking light and sound installation.

The arts festival is being held to celebrate 950 years since the Norman Conquest.
The free show included lasers being beamed across the channel towards St Valery - from where the Norman fleet set sail - in a symbolic invitation to our French neighbours to join in the celebrations and festivities.
The ongoing Festival has been funded by Hastings Borough Council and Arts Council England. For all the latest news and information go to www.1066contemporary.com.
