Between 2pm and 3.30pm on November 10 there will be a special afternoon of music and songs to mark the centenary of the Armistice at the museum, with WWI teatime refreshments, music by Sally Layne and a children’s poppy activity.

On Armistice Day. Hastings town crier Jon Bartholomew will play the bagpipes at 6am at the War Memorial in Alexandra Park, part of a national programme to mark 100 years of remembrance.

The traditional Remembrance Sunday service will also take place at the war memorial in Alexandra Park at 11am, preceded by the civic procession from the town hall, which leaves at around 10.30am. A special commemorative lit lamp will then be blessed, which will be on display at St Clements Church, in the Old Town, during the day.

The commemorative lamp will be used to light the beacon on the East Hill at 7pm, and there will then be a torchlight procession along the seafront to the White Rock Theatre, with the lamp being welcomed during the annual Remembrance service there, which starts at the earlier time this year of 6.45pm. During this service, town crier Jon Bartholomew will make a cry for peace around the world, again as part of a national programme.

The bells at the Old Town church of All Saint will also ring out from 7.05pm, as the East Hill beacon burns.

Mayor of Hastings Nigel Sinden said: “I am so pleased that the town is marking the 100th anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War in this way. So many people – including many from Hastings, of course – made the ultimate sacrifice in this and other wars, and so many more played a huge part in securing the freedoms we take for granted today.”

HASTINGS AND ST LEONARDS: Bells will be ringing all over Hastings and St Leonards on Sunday, November 11 at 12.30pm to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. Tower captain at Christ Church St Leonards, Alan Pink, who is coordinating the ringing, said: “We are hoping to get the bells manned in all the churches with full ringing peals, so that this joyful sound can be heard all over the town at the same time – 12.30. The ringing will last for probably about 20 minutes or so. If other churches with bells want to join in too at this time, that would be even better.”

The town has four churches with bells hung for change ringing – as well as Christ Church in London Road, St Leonards, there are the two Old Town churches of All Saints and St Clements, and Christ Church, Blacklands, in Laton Road. Each has eight bells. The ringing will form part of a nationwide initiative sponsored by both the UK and the German governments in celebration of peace.
