Here in Brighton is the Grand Hotel. Julie has stayed here during one of her scheduled area visits. In 1984 the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher stayed here and was a target of an IRA terrorist hit. The hotel was bombed and left 5 people dead and about 35 injured. Part of her room was destroyed but she and her husband survived, as well as all government ministers that were in her group. As I looked around the lobby, a hotel employee told me the whole story. It is the most popular Hotel in the city and is almost impossible to get a last minute weekend room there.
