Tourism took off in Bognor during the 19th century when the area was chosen as an ideal location for King George V to convalesce during 1929. As a result, the King was asked to bestow the suffix “Regis” (of the King) on Bognor. The petition was presented to the King’s Private Secretary who delivered it to the King. King George supposedly replied, “Oh, bugger Bognor.” The King’s Secretary then went back to the petitioners and told them, “the King has been graciously pleased to grant your request.” A classic British seaside, with pier, beach, crazy golf galore and famously where Sir Billie Butlin set up his first Butlins Holiday Camp.
