The Zeebrugge Bell has been returned to Dover after restoration work, in time for the centenary of the military action it commemorates.

The charity that runs Hastings Pier has announced that it has gone into administration, after it failed to raise £800,000 in grant funding.

In October Hastings Pier Charity said it was in financial difficulties.

A statement from the charity's board of directors, who have now stepped down, said: "The Heritage Lottery Fund wants to ensure that the pier remains open to the public whilst the administration takes place, and the pier will be fully funded for 2018."

The pier's staff will continue working there during the administration.

It was announced in November the pier had won the prestigious Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba) Stirling Prize.
