For those injured and those left profoundly shocked this event will have lasting consequences. We remember you all. When these traumatic events occur we are always so grateful to the emergency services. Their fast and professional response is something we rely on but never take for granted. We are immensely grateful to them for their work yesterday. Their compassion and humanity are deeply appreciated. As the impact of yesterday’s events unfold, our prayers for those affected, and for the town of Lewes, will continue.
