I come from a family that lived in the Poets Corner area of Hove for more than 100 years and I have never been more proud of the place I have called home all my life than the day it was declared a city.
This will really boost Hove and Brighton's standing in Britain and around the world and undoubtedly bring long-term benefits in terms of jobs, investment and prosperity. Congratulations to Simon Fanshawe, Brighton and Hove Council and everyone involved in the city bid.
