Worthing marks Remembrance Sunday with service and march past

Worthing marked Remembrance Sunday on November 8 with a service and march past at the war memorial outside the town hall in Chapel Road. A two-minute silence began at 11am, marked by the first stroke of the town hall clock.

The Mayor of Worthing, Lysanne Skinner, joined representatives in laying wreaths in memory of those who died in the two world wars and other conflicts. Following the service, the mayor took the salute as participants marched past the town hall. She thanked local organisations from Worthing and further afield for their continued support of the annual remembrance events.

Worthing’s commemorations began with the opening of the Field of Remembrance on Monday. A further two-minute silence will take place at the war memorial at 11am on Armistice Day, Wednesday November 11. Residents are also encouraged to support the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal through donations, fundraising or purchasing a poppy.
