A seaside pier devastated by a fire six years ago is set to reopen after a multi-million pound renovation project.
Hastings Pier in East Sussex was almost destroyed in a fire in October 2010 following years of neglect.
But a two-and-a-half year renovation project costing more than £14.2 million is set to restore the pier to its former glory.
Hastings-born musician Suggs, from Madness, will fix the last plank to complete the 50 miles of new decking on the Victorian structure on Tuesday.
A music-themed ceremony is set for May 21, heralding the re-opening of the pier, which was first opened in 1872.
The pier was never restored by its then registered owner and Hastings Borough Council sought a compulsory purchase order to allow control of the pier to be handed to a special trust.
Most of the money for the renovation has come from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and thousands of people have bought community shares.
The pier's reopening comes in a special year for the seaside resort as 2016 also marks the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings.
