Remembrance Sunday this year is set to be a very different occasion as so many services across the UK are strictly limited on the numbers who are allowed to attend to pay their respects

That's why this newspaper, along with its sister titles across the country, is inviting all our readers to join us in a two minute doorstep silence this Remembrance Sunday, to ensure we still remember in 2020 even if we cannot join together in Acts of Remembrance.

This week we will publish a special Poppy Poster, backed by the Royal British Legion, which we encourage people to display in their windows, or to hold, as they stand on their doorsteps to observe a two minute silence at 11am on Remembrance Sunday.

The Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex Mr Peter Field said: "Remembrance this year in many ways will be very different. Parades will not take place and wreath laying will be seriously curtailed, but I know that the community in East Sussex will continue to honour those who gave their lives in two world wars and numerous conflicts since.
