Crowds have been enjoying the sunshine at the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival 2018.
Leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn laid a wreath before the popular procession through the village got underway.
Here's a taste of the atmosphere:
Heather Meldrum, from Hastings, has been to the festival four times - the first time being 25 years ago.
She said: "I think the festival helps you get in touch with what you already know. And the march os very moving. It brings people together."
She added the festival served to reinspire young people to get invovled in the union movement.
