Eastbourne-based PRG Publicity welcomed more than 100 guests to its swanky new offices to celebrate 25 years in business.

Guests walked up a red carpet to join the movie premiere-themed party at The Point in College Road, just off the seafront.

A paparazzi snapper and popcorn machine kept them entertained before a champagne and canape reception and a "backstage" tour of the building.

The Mayor of Eastbourne, councillor Graham Marsden, presented managing director Ray Groves with a giant Oscar and congratulated PRG on a successful quarter century.

Mr Groves said: "This inspiring, creative space is a reflection on our past successes but also on our future goals.

"We are delighted to welcome so many high calibre guests through our doors for what has proved an extremely successful event."
