Sculptures, flames and costume clad people filled the streets of a civil parish on Saturday.

The East Hoathly Carnival was back for another year and honoured those who have lost their lives in past conflicts.

People could be seen in a wide range of costumes.

Children could be seen wearing Day of the Dead-inspired ensembles and many adults donned military uniforms for a fitting tribute for Remembrance weekend.

A wooden sculpture of a lion was the main event that was set alight during the evening.

The impressive piece of art was created by East Sussex-based artist Keith Pettit.

There were plenty of events being held for remembrance over the weekend.

In Brighton at 9am a short service was held for the Royal Sussex Regimental Association at the war memorial in Regency Square, Brighton.

At 10.30am hundreds of people gathered in Old Steine Gardens in Brighton for the traditional parade, service and wreath laying at the memorial.

Hymns were led by the Salvation Army band and poetry and prayers were read to remember all those who have lost their lives in war and who continue to be affected by war.

Brighton MPs Caroline Lucas and Lloyd Russell-Moyle attended the service and joined representatives from the Armed Forces and other organisations in laying a wreath.

After 45 minutes the service ended and the long line of service personnel who made up the parade left the memorial, with onlookers lining the street to clap as they went past.
