People evacuated during the Second World War are to reunite at a summer meeting in Worthing.

The Evacuees Reunion Association is hosting the event at Worthing Museum on August 14 from 2pm to 4pm.

A museum spokesman said: "Worthing was most unusual in first having children evacuated to its quiet seaside location but then having to perform a U-turn and evacuate its own young residents as the realisation dawned that the South Coast was a prime spot for German invasion.

"Whichever experience people were part of, the meeting promises to be the ideal opportunity to meet fellow evacuees, compare notes and tales and hear more about the work of the association."

Tickets are limited so call 01777 719800 as soon as possible.
