Next up in Faces of Lyme is Steve Phillips, a well-known figure in Lyme Regis who was previously landlord of The Royal Standard. A few years ago after many years behind the bar, Steve passed the reins to his daughter Rachael and son-in-law Akis, who continue the family tradition of warm hospitality.

When the weather’s good, you’ll often spot Steve enjoying the sunshine outside the ice cream kiosk next to the Royal Standard — run by his son James.

Christmas Lights Champion Remembered with Restored Plaque. The plaque dedicated to Barbara Austin, who played a key role in improving the Christmas lights in Lyme during the early 2000s, has recently been painstakingly restored by Mark Bujniewicz.

At the request of Rob James, current chairman of the Lyme Regis Christmas Lights Committee, Mark has revived the once-faded plaque attached to the Royal Lion in Broad Street. The inscription now stands out clearly once again, marking that the lantern above is dedicated to Barbara’s memory. Well done Mark!

🎺 A Fabulous Finale for Lyme Regis Town Band 🎶 What a way to round off the summer! Lyme Regis Town Band brought their Summer on the Seafront concerts to a close with a spectacular Last Night on the Prom performance.

The evening combined some of the most popular pieces from this year’s concerts with a few roaring singalong favourites – Rule Britannia, Land of Hope & Glory, and Jerusalem – all given the band’s unmistakable brassy twist. The atmosphere was wonderful, with plenty of enthusiastic flag waving and smiling faces all around. 🇬🇧✨

The Town Band is made up entirely of volunteers, giving their time and talent to keep this much-loved tradition alive. If you’ve enjoyed their concerts this summer, or would simply like to support them, you can make a donation online at 👉 lymeregistownband.co.uk/donateonline

Candles on the Cobb 2025. Lyme Regis came together for a truly moving evening as 5,000 tea light candles illuminated the Cobb in memory of loved ones.

The evening began with joy and music as Lyme Regis Town Band and Lyme Morris entertained crowds along the seafront. Later, Mayor of Lyme Regis, Cllr Philip Evans, lit the very first candle, joined by David Sarson, president of the Rotary Club of Lyme Regis, who organised this year's event. They were followed by Phil Street and Mike Higgs, who first imagined this special tradition back in 2000, Nicola and Scott Quinnell who donated the candles and Holly Payne, lighting a candle on behalf of The Slipway, one of the event’s main sponsors.

As dusk fell, emotion filled the air. Volunteer teams from across the community — including the Scouts, RNLI, Sailing Club and Powerboat Club — worked together to bring the Cobb to life. One by one, the candles flickered into brightness until the harbour was bathed in a breathtaking sea of light, a poignant tribute to cherished memories and a shining example of community spirit.
