The brilliant Lindfield Bonfire Night 2021 took place on Friday evening (November 5).
Darren Lucas, chairman of Lindfield Bonfire Society, called it ‘probably the biggest and best Bonfire Night the village of Lindfield has ever seen’.
The torch-lit procession in the high street had a record number of societies and organisations taking part.
The society welcomed visiting members from Barcombe, Burgess Hill, Buxted, Chailey, Eastbourne, Hailsham, Littlehampton, Seaford and South Heighton Bonfire Societies, as well as Lindfield Scouts, music from Burgess Hill Marching Youth and Ryebellion Drummers.
On the common the Ryebellion Drummers entertained the crowd while the bonfire was lit and the Bonfire Prayer was read out.
The evening finished with a grand fireworks display from the society’s pyro team.
