On October 12, 1984, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) carried out a bombing at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England, during the Conservative Party Conference. The attack aimed to assassinate British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet. Five people were killed, including Conservative MP Sir Anthony Berry, and over thirty were injured. Thatcher narrowly escaped harm. The bombing was a significant event during The Troubles, highlighting the IRA's reach and determination to strike at the heart of the British government. It led to increased security measures and further complicated Anglo-Irish relations.
