Eastbourne was set to host a musical special Diamond Jubilee firework display.
Councillor Neil Stanley, of Eastbourne Borough Council, said "This is our treat for music fans with free entry while the temporary works continue at the bandstand.
"This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a free concert on the beach and get a taste of what a great programme we have on offer when the bandstand reopens in July."

“Furthermore, given the distinctive description of the man, we are confident somebody can give us a name so, again, we urge them to contact us so that we can establish what happened on Friday afternoon.”

When you’re surrounded by co-stars in skimpy bikinis it can be difficult to stand out but Sam Faiers ensured all eyes were on her in Marbella as she donned a low cut one piece with a serious amount of bling.
The blonde boutique owner was spotted filming scenes for the Only Way Is Essex with her castmates today but a slashed to the navel black swimsuit, accessorised with a huge, gold neck piece helped her stand out from the crowd.
The unusual piece of jewellery featured a large circle in the middle which hung off the main plate and nestled between her breasts, drawing attention.
