PARTY time 1920s style was quite a sedate affair, judging from this great picture of a get-together in Brighton in around 1929.

Note how the ladies all kept their hats on. There was no central heating then, of course, so it was probably pretty chilly.

Two other special events feature in our old pictures today – Remembrance Day and the Old Crocks run.

Crowds gather for Remembrance Day 1929 in Grand Avenue, Hove. Following the Great War, Remembrance Day was attended by thousands

And how different they were in the late 1920s.

The Old Crocks taking part in the annual London to Brighton run make a great sight.

If you look closely you can see a roof sign for Brighton brewery Tamplins – this was on the Black Lion pub.

This is Preston Circus, Brighton, in around 1929 – the Hare and Hounds looks very familiar

There's another familiar sign in final image today - the one above the Hare and Hounds pub at Preston Circus, which looks just like it does now.
