Speaking about the event, Billy Blanchard-Cooper, chair of the community resources committee, said: “It is always touching to see our veterans, uniformed groups and members of the public unite for the Littlehampton’s Remembrance Day parade and service. Our Remembrance Sunday event seems to grow each year and I urge you all to join us in remembering and honouring those who have sacrificed themselves to secure and protect our freedom.”
