Hove has been pinpointed as one of the premier haunts for affluent people in the UK.

A survey reveals it has the highest number of millionaires outside London and Scotland.

Hove appears at number 14 in the list by business analysts EuroDirect.

Among those with property in Hove, until recently considered a retirement resort, are DJ Norman Cook, former boxer Chris Eubank, actor Nick Berry and Sir Paul McCartney.

Top of the rich list is Hampstead in London, with the Edinburgh districts of Blackhall and Morningside in second and third place respectively.

The millionaire neighbourhood report said there were more than 60,000 millionaires in Britain.
