My Grandparents were married at St Johns Parish Church, Ipswich, on 5 March 1917. This was typical dress for a working class wedding. If the groom was in the forces then he would wear his uniform not a suit. Submitted by Katarzyna

The brides were daughters of Alfred Steel, landlord of the Royal Oak, East Wittering. There are a variety of hats, older ladies favouring more old fashioned styles. Some of the men wear black armbands due to a recent bereavement. In the public bar some of the regulars can be seen watching from the window.
