AS WELL as the Old Steine ceremony, there were services at the memorial in Grand Avenue, Hove, and in Regency Square, Brighton.

Peter Kyle, Labour MP for Hove and Portslade, was at the Grand Avenue ceremony.

He believes holding smaller and more localised services is very important. He said: "Today's acts of Remembrance at Portslade and the Hove cenotaph have been incredibly well attended by residents eager to be together for this nationally important moment.

"Each family and community is touched by the sacrifice of our Armed Forces in different ways, so it is so important we still meet locally at this time of year."

He was joined by councillors and representatives from Sussex Police and the Army.

One councillor, Robert Nemeth of the Wish Ward, said: "Given that the memorial service in Hove came very close to being cancelled completely a few years back, it was all the more special to see a packed public service with an excellent turnout.

"The various cadet groups and public service representatives all did the town proud.

"It was an honour to take part with colleagues and two of my children.”

The Mayor of Brighton and Hove Councillor Alan Robins attended several services during the day to pay his respect to the fallen.

He said: "It is really important that we do hold these Remembrance services for all those people who went off and fought and died.

"Many of them came from small Sussex villages and they would never have left Sussex before they went to the French battlefields in World War One.

"But it should also be remembered that it is for all conflicts, and conflicts that have gone on since the world wars.

"Laying the wreath is a weird experience as you are filled with pride and compassion and in some ways regret that these people that you are commemorating are not there know that you are there doing it.

"I think the overwhelming feeling is that of pride in your country and everybody."

There was a parade led by a band which marched towards All Saints Church in The Drive, Hove, where a memorial service was held.

Similar services went ahead across Sussex today, including in Rottingdean, Worthing, Shoreham and Crawley.

The Remembrance Sunday ceremonies followed Thursday's commemorations on Remembrance Day, which marks the end of the First World War.
