Residents across Sussex fell silent to mark Remembrance Sunday and pay tribute to those who lost their lives in conflicts across the world.

Services in Brighton, Hove, Worthing and across the county paid tribute to soldiers who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars as well as other conflicts.

Gun salutes rang out at exactly 11am to mark the beginning of the two-minute silence as the UK paused to mark the day.

In Brighton’s Old Steine, hundreds of armed service cadets stood to attention as dignitaries from across the city laid poppy wreaths in tributes to soldiers who had given their lives.

Hundreds of onlookers paused to watch the parade, listen to hymns being read and mark the anniversary of the end of the First World War.

In Worthing, onlookers watched on as representatives from the armed forces congregated at the War Memorial outside Worthing Town Hall.

The Mayor of Worthing said he was “extremely proud and humbled” to represent the town at the parade.

In Hove, dignitaries including Bella Sankey and Chief Constable Jo Shiner stood to lay wreaths and mark Remembrance Sunday. Scores of people watched and fell silent as The Last Post was played at the war memorial in Grand Avenue.
