Churches Together in Good Friday procession
One of the organisers, Ken Hutchinson, said: “We reckon there were around 50 more people in the procession this time, and it seems to get more popular with each passing year.
“More than 20 different churches in and around Bexhill were invited to take part, and we had people of all ages join us, including some folk in wheelchairs.”

Banners were carried and cards were distributed en route, each bearing the words of the featured hymns and an explanation of what Good Friday means in the Christian faith.
Following the hour-long procession, a united service was held at Sackville Road Methodist Church, where the current chairman of Bexhill Churches Together, the Reverend Peter Timms, is minister.
