Billy Blanchard-Cooper will be hosting a civic service with a difference at 3pm on Sunday at St Mary’s Church in Church Street, Littlehampton. He said: “Littlehampton is an astounding town, the people that live and work here contribute so much to its vibrancy and this is my way of saying ‘thank-you’. Traditionally the mayor hosts a civic service during their mayoral year, which has taken many shapes from concerts to afternoon tea. The event is free and there is no need to book.
