Community praised after hearse gets to funeral on time despite standstill traffic
The traffic was caused by a road collision between two lorries earlier today on the B2145 and roadworks near Keynor Lane.
Admins from the Selsey Grapevine Facebook group asked drivers in a post to allow for a clear passage as the hearse made its way to Chichester.

“We had two guys turn up and miss the service because of the traffic but the people in this village are amazing. My boss had to run in front of the hearse at one point to the corners so he could see the traffic.
“We want to say a huge thank you for everyone’s support this morning and I know the family would like to give their thanks as well.”
