We would like to thank everyone who has helped make Lewes Bonfire 2021 a largely trouble-free night.
It has been busier than the last celebrations in 2019, with an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 people attending.
It has taken months of planning and preparation by emergency services, local authorities and transport operators who have worked closely with bonfire societies and the local community.
Measures such as travel restrictions were put in place amid concerns that more people than usual would come to Lewes because of last year’s cancellation.
As of 00.45 on 6 November, the majority of crowds have now dispersed.
One person was rescued from the river at around 18.20 on 5 November. They did not need hospital treatment.
St John’s Ambulance and South East Coast Ambulance treated around 50 people, including a number with eye and hand injuries.
Sussex Police have made six arrests.
Chief Superintendent Howard Hodges said: "I'd like to thank the community of Lewes for behaving responsibly and allowing tonight's bonfire celebrations to pass without significant incident.
"A very small and isolated minority of people chose to engage in crime and/or disorder but were dealt with effectively by our officers on the ground, minimising any disruption to the proceedings and helping us to keep people safe."
The clean up operation will now begin in order to open roads.
