HOMECOMING PARADE
Princess of Wales’ Royal Regiment
Thursday 16th July 2009
12:20pm to 1:15pm
The Princess of Wales’ Royal Regiment (successors to the Royal Sussex Regiment) will exercise their Freedom of the Borough by marching through the centre of Lewes, the ancient County Town, to mark their very recent return from active service in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
This is a very rare ceremonial event, which has happened only three times since 1953 (1991 being the last occasion), and will be attended by a host of civic guests including the Lord Lieutenant and High Sheriff of the County and a number of Mayors representing other Sussex towns.
There will be a short disruption to the flow of vehicles through the town-centre during the march, including traffic diversions for a few minutes, but we trust that this will be accepted as a minor inconvenience.
We hope that as many people as possible will join us along the route to welcome home these brave soldiers who have unhesitatingly upheld the long-standing traditions and reputation of the British Army in the defence of freedom.
Lewes is proud to mark their homecoming.
Cllr Amanda Dean
Mayor of Lewes

Because they are Freemen of the County Town of Lewes.

Genuine question then LB are they also "Freemen" of Portsmouth and Southampton and whilst we are at it the rest of the Towns on the above list?
Lord Bracknell

I don't know. The honorary freedom of the Borough of Lewes was originally granted to the Royal Sussex Regiment in 1953. It was transferred to the Queens Regiment in 1965. The Princess of Wales' Royal Regiment inherited the privileges in 1992.
As it happens, the Royal Sussex Regiment was also granted the freedom of the Borough of Hove in 1958 and the City of Belfast in 1961.

Well there you go!!! They aren't a minority all they have done is served and fought for their country and doubt they will shock young children and suck a penis shaped ice cream so what's the point of them marching for goodness sake. What type of person do you think is on the council?? (just you wait til the next elections sunshine) They may of course have a Ceremony at The T.A Building in Dyke Road I will check for announcements on my way past this morning!

I think you'll find that these ceremonies aren't arranged by the council, but by the Lord Lieutenant on behalf of the Queen.

Well I just think it's typical of f***ing Brighton & Hove, a Town I grew up in I might add seem to quite freeley allow/encourage diverse and minority groups to march through town shouting ye ha at the police, cause massive disruption to residents and business's yet when our own return from war they arn't invited, you couldnt make it up, I for one cant wait to move!!

I bow (once more) to your greater knowledge! I take it you mean The PWRR Parade and not The Naked Bike Ride or Pride??

Well as a non resident of Brighton I'm sure it's no skin off your nose, but the Council should have been petioning for this parade. I'd rather see the lads marching past my window than a bunch of flakey students drinking cider rampaging through town.

A good spell in the army would put an end to all that marching and fighting, eh what?

Did you miss the vote last week? We got to nominate three marches for Brighton and Hove this year.
Pissed students, The Gays and The Suicidal Muslim Fanatics won. I think The Army was fifth after Dole Scroungers of Sussex

Up the Albion!
If they marched through Brighton there would inevitably be some protest group out which would cause major hassle & cause great emabarrassment to Brighton.
Just my opinion like.
Just to be clear, I for one am all for the lads & they deserve a march through Brighton, followed by a piss up!

Sorry for the late response - I've only just seen this.
What you are saying is TOSH. I have close relatives who have served in the armed forces and a number of family members who have been killed doing so. The comment in question was merely a quote from a routine in 'I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again', or maybe it was Monty Python.

Chicken run, you're acting as if the council is opposed to them marching or something? Maybe they believe that as they are marching either side of Brighton, i.e Worthing and Lewis, that they do not need to march in Brighton?
I don't understand who exactly you're wound up with.
