More than 15,000 people thronged the streets of Hastings to watch a torchlight procession.
Colourfully dressed marchers carrying torches, banners and drums snaked through the town on Saturday night.
The procession, organised by Hastings Borough Bonfire Society, started at the Stade, went up All Saints Street and across the Bourne before heading up the High Street.
It ended with a huge bonfire and fireworks display on the beach where a massive effigy of a television set was incinerated in front of record-breaking crowds.
Organisers chose to torch a telly because John Logie Baird transmitted the first television pictures from Hastings in the Twenties.
Bonfire societies from Lewes, Battle, Robertsbridge, Staplecross and Rye joined in the celebrations.
Dudley Trowell, of Hastings Borough Bonfire Society, said: "It was a marvellous evening."
