Thousands have gathered to pay their respects across the county today to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the two world wars and conflicts since.
In Lewes wreaths were laid at the War Memorial on Sunday afternoon.
James MacCleary, MP for the Lewes constituency, which represents Lewes, Seaford, Newhaven, Polegate, and surrounding villages, layed a sustainable Remembrance wreath handmade by pupils from Priory School's Year 7 Art Club.
The local MP, James MacCleary, asked Priory School in Lewes to help create a more environmentally friendly way to honour those who gave their lives in service. The MP hopes this wreath-making will become a lasting tradition, with new wreaths made in the years to come.
