Doors opened at 10am and the event kicked off at 10.30am with President Roy Hudd and Vice President Wyn Calvin greeting the audience with a music hall sing-a-long. They were followed by Jimmy Cricket and the day was really under way with a splendid array of artistes offering comedy, music, song and magic.

What a spectacular show you put on. I haven't laughed so much in a long time and I'm sure the rest of the audience felt the same.
Every second of every minute of every hour of the wonderful Day By The Sea in Eastbourne 2017 will be remembered forever (or may be even longer) by the audience. It was FANTASTIC.
A really, really lovely day. We were all thrilled with it and want to come back next year. It was absolutely brilliant.
We both enjoyed every minute and are looking forward to next year already!
