AT 2.54am on October 12, 1984, an explosion echoed across Brighton and Hove.
A bomb had been detonated at The Grand hotel on Brighton seafront, where then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and other members of the Conservative party were staying for their annual conference.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had left the bathroom of her suite on the first floor moments before the blast.
