DURING its long history as a seaside resort, Brighton has offered ferry trips across the Channel to France.

A seajet service named the Normandy Princess ran from Brighton Marina to Dieppe in France between 1979 and 1980.

Two Boeing Jetfoils were used, with three “flights” per day.

The service suffered from poor reliability of the Jetfoils in the early stages, was restricted due to wave height in the middle of the Channel, and suffered during the French fishermen’s blockade of channel ports.

A new hover cat ferry named Agnes was used in the 1990s to take passengers across the Channel.

Can you remember boarding either of these vessels to travel to France and what the experience was like?

Do you remember what became of Agnes?

Another iconic vehicle or perhaps number plate is the one that has been on the car used by the mayor of Brighton over the years.

CD1 was the very first registration plate issued by Brighton Borough Council in 1904 and was estimated to be worth over £150,000 when it was put up for auction in 2012.

In 1976, when the car left was photographed, the city mayor was Peter Best, who chose a classic Rolls Royce as his preferred mode of transport.

Do you have a car that belonged to the mayor that stands out as your favourite?

Perhaps you have a memory of seeing the mayor being driven in a car with this number plate over the years?

Sir Thomas Octave Murdoch Sopwith (18 January 1888 – 27 January 1989) was an English aviation pioneer and yachtsman who helped build the new Beagle Pup aircraft introduced to Shoreham Airport in the late 1960s.

Can you remember ever seeing this aircraft at the airport?
