Remembrance Sunday services in Worthing, Lancing and Sompting – what you need to know

The tragic loss of life in the two World Wars and other conflicts will be honoured with services at various memorials in our communities.

A cascade of poppies hand-sewn by residents has been put on display for the second year running at Worthing Town Hall.

The Field of Remembrance has also been set up at the Worthing War Memorial in Chapel Road.

This will be the scene of the annual Remembrance Service and March Past, which takes place on Sunday at 11am.

The two minutes silence will start on the first stroke of the Town Hall clock, after which the mayor’s chaplain will conduct the service.

The mayor and others will lay wreaths for the fallen and take the salute at the march past in front of Worthing Town Hall at approximately 11.30am.

Councillor Hazel Thorpe, Worthing’s mayor, said: “I am extremely proud and humbled to represent my town and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the many local organisations from Worthing and further afield who continue to support our annual Remembrance Service and Parade.”

On Monday, a two-minute silence will be held at the Worthing War Memorial.
