I write in reference to comments about the non-celebration of St Richard's Day (Letters, March 24).

Just to make everybody aware, St Richard's Church and Community Centre in Egmont Road, Hove, always celebrates this important day.

This year we are intending to stage an even bigger event than usual, with a family fun day from 11am to about 3pm. The church will be open all day and there will be a service at 7.15pm, followed by refreshments.

Efforts are being made to contact previous vicars to join us for the service.

All are welcome to attend this joyful day to celebrate the county's patron saint.
