Snappy dresser

Bognor’s town crier took home the prize for best dressed at the 68th annual town crier’s competition in Hastings last weekend.

Taking place at Butler’s Gap in Hastings Old town, and hosted by Hastings town crier Jon Bartholomew, it saw criers across the country vying for the top spot in a number of categories.

Competing four years after her first win in the event, Bognor Regis town crier Mrs Jane Smith was delighted with Saturday’s result, not least because she personally designed and created her own town crier regalia.
