The farmer and former Le Mans winner said: "It was not a difficult decision for me to make.

"I am delighted the village can get some use out of the land and people can get some pleasure out of it. I would ask people to respect the land. They have done that with the village hall.

"Pagham has been my life. I like to do what I can for the village and help people where I can."

Mr Bell said he had been impressed with the work which volunteers had done in putting on Pagham in Parade.

"These things always get bigger and they need another area to put attractions in and they can also use the land for other events in the future," he stated.
