Photographs from the WRVS Heritage Plus free event

By John Cheves

These photographs were taken on the Sunday of the 2009 Veterans Weekend event held at the Redoubt Fortress in Eastboune that was organised by WRVS Heritage Plus in association with the Eastbourne Combined Ex-Services Association and the Redoubt Fortress.

The free 3 day event was enjoyed by over 2,000 people over the course of the weekend. Here are some quotes from people who came along to Sunday's event:

'I enjoyed myself. I thought the entertainment was really good. It made me want to sing and dance. I felt so happy that everyone had done so well. I can't wait until next year!' Christine Ives

'I really enjoyed myself. The music was fantastic, as was the singing and dancing. Everybody was really happy and enjoying themselves. I felt as though I was really living through the forties. Everything went so smoothly. WRVS have done really well.' Janet Jones

'We were transported to wartime entertainment with lively music and dances' Sathi Sivapragasm

'The concert was terrific. There was something for everybody. I joined in singing my favourite songs. Everybody agreed, we had an excellent day' Bill Richards

'The day was wonderful and an event that truly could not be missed. Absolutely wonderful' Lizzie Cash
