Rottingdean Village Fair will go ahead this Saturday without one of its favourite characters.
For 30 years Winifred Hoyle provided costumes for the colourful costume parade along High Street which kicks off the fair.
She died in March but donated her costume collection to the village.
The former theatrical costumer was determined the tradition of the themed costume parade would continue and this year it will be Carnival, Circus and Pantomime.
The cavalcade will leave Rottingdean seafront at 10.30am. Brighton and Hove councillor Jenny Langston will open the fair just before 11am.
The main High Street will be closed to traffic for half an hour, along with a short closure of the main A259 coast road through the village.
Throughout the day there will be activities and stalls on the village green, including a circus display at 2.30pm and a Punch and Judy show.
