Two long-standing members of a Sussex bonfire society will be given a fitting send off when their ashes are launched in a rocket at the end of this year's firework display.

John Izod and Jimper Sutton, both stalwarts of Rye Bonfire Society, passed away earlier this year - John in April and Jimper in June.

The society feels that sending the duo out in a blaze of glory would be a fitting tribute to the larger-than-life characters.
