Doves released to share message of peace and hope over Southwick

Doves were released over Southwick on Easter Sunday to send a message of peace and hope to the community. Southwick Christian Community Church organised the symbolic occasion as part of its morning service.

More than 80 people gathered outside the grounds of the church, in Roman Crescent, on Sunday for a service that featured Easter hymns, magic tricks and a drama. At the end, white doves were released to signify peace and send a message of love over Southwick. The birds, from Lambert’s White Dove Release in Hove, went up and circled around the church and the community before flying home.
