Guests also included Deputy Town Mayor Cllr Keith Bridger and carnival day float judges.

Recalling a brilliant July day and a wonderful Carnival, she said she had been greatly impressed by the standard of the procession entries and the presence of so many Carnival Queens and Princesses.

Each successive Rother chairman is ex officio president of Bexhill Carnival.

Thanking Carnival's organisers and congratulating them on their success, she said: "The tradition of having a Carnival in Bexhill I think is something that we must not take for granted.

"I want to say thank you to the people who keep this tradition going - of giving something back to their community."
