Brighton came together today to mark a solemn remembrance event at the city’s War Memorial. Veterans, serving personnel, community leaders, and local residents gathered to honour the men and women who lost their lives in conflict.

The procession formed at the Old Steine, awaiting their orders to quick march. A two-minute silence was observed as wreaths were laid by representatives from the armed forces, emergency services, local councils, and community organisations.

The service included a reflective address acknowledging the sacrifices made by service personnel across generations. The Last Post was played, followed by a moment of quiet reflection.

Attendance was strong despite cold conditions, with families of veterans and young cadets standing alongside long-serving military personnel. Many spoke of the importance of keeping remembrance traditions alive for future generations.

The event concluded with a final blessing and a march-past, drawing respectful applause from those gathered. Brighton’s annual remembrance event continues to be a central moment in the city’s calendar, bringing the community together in gratitude and reflection.
