Unbelievable! What a night! What a fabulous, full on night of festivities! Happy birthday to Howie, Simone and David... this was without a doubt the party of the year! The perfect setting (I've never seen Stanmer House looking as gorgeous as it does all lit up in pink!), hundreds of fabulous costumes, fantastic music and an amazing atmosphere. The photos, I hope, speak for themselves... all twelve pages of them!

If you were there and had a fantastic time then use the 'loved it' feature below to leave a note for the birthday stars.

loved it!

What a fantastic night... Happy Birthday to Howie, Simoe & David! Thank you for inviting me to a night I will never forget.

I agree! This will be a party I will never ever forget. Happy Birthday to Howie, Simone and David. I hope you had a great time. You deserve a medal for all the orgaisation that went into this. Would have to be the best I have ever been too. Costumes were amazing. Well done!

Well… Unless you actually went to the 120th Birthday Party at Stanmer House on Saturday you will never truly appreciate the experience. All I can say is "Sam… I can’t wait to see the photos!”

Here’s a very big thank you to Simone, David and Howie for showing us all how to have a real fancy dress party. The music courtesy of Dulcie Danger and King K was amazing and the Kylie show performed for everyone by Simone, David and Howie was the highlight of the night.

One of the biggest things that made the evening so perfect was that everyone who attended made such an amazing effort to dress up in fancy dress.

But wait… Even after the party finished at 2am everyone still wanted to hit the town, and where did we all go in mass and in fancy dress? MONKEY! The customers at Monkey were as surprised as the staff to see so many people turning up in regency costume and fancy dress. And even after that we were all standing in the delightful surroundings of the Bulldog all dressed up till 6am having a little post mortem of the evening’s events and a night cap.

I’m told from reliable sources all around Brighton that the walking wounded were still making there way home at 3pm through the busy streets of Brighton in full fancy dress.

All I can say is, “What a night”. And well done all who went along to celebrate the 120th Birthday of three of Brighton’s loveliest people. The night’s events will stay with me for ever!

Was a wonderful night! It was lovely to see that everybody had made so effort with their costumes - and the house, and hostesses and hosts were beautiful. Was certainly a night we will all never forget and the photos by Sam are a lovely reminder of what was ONE OF THE BEST NIGHTS EVER! Happy bithday, and thanks to everyone for being there and for letting me and Dulcie entertain you with our music. Was an honour and so much fun! Lots of love xxxxx
