  1. The Grand Hotel.  It was bombed in 1984 by the IRA during the Conservative Party Conference.  Five people were killed while many others, including Party Chairman Norman Tebbitt and his wife, were seriously injured.  The then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher narrowly escaped injury.  The Conference continued as planned.


  2. The hotel was bombed by the IRA on the early morning of October 12, 1984, in an attempt to assassinate Margaret Thatcher during the Conservative Party conference. Thatcher survived the bombing. Five people died in the attack, including Roberta Wakeham, wife of the government's Chief Whip John Wakeham, and the Conservative MP Sir Anthony Berry. A prominent member of the Cabinet, Norman Tebbit, was injured, along with his wife Margaret, who was left paralysed. Thatcher insisted that the conference open on time the next day and made her speech as planned in defiance of the bombers, a gesture which won widespread approval across the political spectrum.

  3. THE GRAND on Brighton seafront was the last one but a few 'got it' during the war.
