Hundreds of candles light up Shoreham Fort
Friends of Shoreham Fort organise the evening for people’s personal reflection on those loved and lost, either through war or their own war with illness.
Shoreham band 168 No Sleep performed, before the Rev Ann Waizeneker addressed the crowd and invited people to light a candle in reflection.
