Bognor Regis Illuminations Gala cancelled due to bad weather
In a post on Facebook, a spokesman for Bognor Regis Seafront Lights said 'forecasts of very strong wind' and 'heavy rain' meant the event, which was due to celebrate its 40th anniversary, had to be called off.
Organisers said the health, safety and well-being of all involved was their 'foremost concern' and confirmed that this was a cancellation as 'postponing is not an option'.
