A POEM about a World War Two battle has won Burgess Hill school girl Sarah Lucas a top prize.
Sarah, a Year 11 pupil at Burgess Hill School for Girls, has won a week in Wales on a residential writing course after becoming one of sixteen winners of the national 'Poetry Live!' competition.
Her poem, 'Dieppe 2009', was written in remembrance of the Battle of Dieppe in France and impressed prominent British poets Gillian Clarke and Imtiaz Dharkar who sat on the Poetry Live! judging panel.
Sarah will travel to the Ty Newydd national writers' centre in north Wales, which hosts courses for writers from all over the world.
