Some 25,000 people crowded into Lewes for the annual bonfire celebrations with tableaus of Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Jacob Rees-Mogg and King Neptune taking centre stage.

Highlights included the angry looking King Neptune tableau rescuing a turtle from a plastic filled sea, a big-mouthed Nigel Farage tableau appeared to be stirring up trouble with the EU, a TV license van with a plane pilot flying overhead giving the ‘v’ sign, Boris Johnson having fun on a Brexit rollercoaster while Jacob Rees-Mogg sat with his eyes closed at the rear and the man himself Guy Fawkes was tied down and being rolled to his impending burning.

The estimated attendance from Sussex Police was 25,000 - 5,000 less than last year’s 30,000, possibly because of the police force’s warning to out-of-town visitors to stay away.
