A wonderful video showing Eastbourne during the war and released for the recent anniversary of VJ Day is now online. The video was due to have been projected on to The Beacon from the London and County Pub but the event had to be postponed at the eleventh hour after scaffolding wasn’t removed at the public house in time. Here are some of the photos from the video.
