Brighton's Royal Pavilion – what was George IV's seaside palace – is to welcome people back from Monday (May 17). In 2019 more than 120 items that George IV commissioned or bought for the Pavilion were returned on loan from the Royal Collection Trust. Visitors will still be able to see these original pieces, relocated from Buckingham Palace, as they will now remain on show until January 2022.
