The mayor of Hastings has apologised for not maintaining social distancing whilst taking part in a reopening ceremony at the town's pier.
Councillor Nigel Sinden, made the apology after the event to mark the pier's reopening following the Covid-19 lockdown.
Following the event, he said:
"We did try to keep apart, but at times people crowded in and it wasn't possible to maintain the 2m distance at all times. I accept that I should lead by example, and I am very sorry that I didn't on this occasion.
"I will not attend any more events in person until it is safe to do so. We have done very well to keep Covid-19 levels low in Hastings, and I obviously want it to stay that way."
