Charity is seeking Eastbourne seaside memories
Stuart Rivers, the CEO of the Sailors’ Society, explained: “Whether it’s beach balls, flip-flops or the ingredients used to make an ice cream, 90 per cent of everything you see beside the seaside is transported by sea.
“During the heatwave, many people from Eastbourne will have headed to the beach to create long-lasting memories.
