HUNDREDS of onlookers enjoyed the Dance in the High Street yesterday, which saw a two-hour variety show mounted in the heart of the town centre.

After days of sunshine, the weather broke and it was grey skies overhead as a steady drizzle rained down for most of the day.

But East Grinstead folk are made of stern stuff, and they weren’t going to let anything rain on their parade or dampen their enthusiasm.

More than 120 volunteers had spent months planning the event and it just showed, said organiser Lex Eichner, the importance volunteering plays in the life of the town and in bringing the community together.
