The traditional crowning of the May Queen and a pier-to-pier walk were among the attractions which entertained hundreds of people over the weekend.

Villagers in Findon turned out in force to honour their May Queen for the coming year.

Zeba Ghorishi, 10, is the latest child to have the honour bestowed on her at the village's Midsummer Revels, following her coronation by the village's new rector, Stephen Gurr.

The event is organised every year by St John The Baptist Primary School in Findon.

Pupils took part in maypole and country dancing and enjoyed a fete at the event on Sunday. Proceeds go to school funds.

A spokeswoman for the school said: "The fete is always well supported and well attended."

Meanwhile, more than 400 charity walkers braved high winds to raise money for a children's hospice.

Despite the difficult conditions they crossed the 13-mile course from Brighton's Palace Pier to Splash Point in Worthing to be met by Worthing Mayor James Doyle, his wife Mel and actor Jeff Stewart, who plays Reg Hollis in TV cop show The Bill.

The walk is the eighth organised by charity fund-raisers Yvonne Carter, Jackie Smith and Trish and Chris Stubbins.

Yvonne said: "For the past seven years we have raised a total of £150,000 for the breast care unit at Worthing.

"We have raised a lot for the hospital and it has got a lot of new equipment, making it the best in the South, so this year we decided to channel everything into St Barnabas' Chestnut Tree House Appeal."

The walkers were handed a certificate by the mayor as they crossed the finish line. Ron Spearings was the first to complete the course after a two-and-a-half hour hike.

St Barnabas' Hospice's annual fete in Worthing proved so popular that people were already queuing when it opened.

Highlights included cakes, stalls, wood-turning and a big 30th birthday cake to mark the event's anniversary.

Elsewhere, a highlight of the Adur festival thrilled crowds with a host of bands and processions.

The Beach Dreams weekend once again graced Shoreham Beach, bringing a carnival flavour to the festival.

The event, brainchild of the Rev Marcus Ronchetti, vicar of Shoreham Beach, involved dozens of Shoreham musicians including samba band Beach Batteria.

On Saturday, schoolchildren from the area joined three processions which converged on Beach Green.

Following the event's Alice and Wonderland theme, Shoreham resident Jon Potter wrote and directed an enactment of an extra chapter to the popular tale and a huge puppet of Alice was erected. A mad hatter's tea party was held on Sunday.
