From the obituary of the Duke of Devonshire in the Telegraph 04/05/04:
The Duke seldom travelled abroad. He spent a week every year at the Cavendish Hotel, Eastbourne, the town which the family had developed as a resort in the 19th century. "I like everything about Eastbourne," he said. "I like the pier. I like the theatre. It puts on jolly shows like A Bedful of Foreigners and Run for Your Wife. You can take a boat trip around the lighthouse. There's a miniature railway and, best of all, on the front, really good military bands. You can't beat the English seaside and a really tiptop military band."
