King Alfred complex Brighton. Clue googling Dreadnaught Garage but I chose Brighton for further googling due to the bus or perhaps trolley bus colours. I remember the trolley buses and the piers but not this complex. Both earlier and now I understand site of leisure centre but interim snaffled by the RN.

The French Revolution and La Marseillaise might loosely qualify.

#2628......answer.

Portugal......The Carnation Revolution.

Paulo de Carvalho's "E Depois do Adeus" (Portugal's entry in the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest) was aired on Emissores Associados de Lisboa at 10:55 p.m. on 24 April. This alerted rebel captains and soldiers to begin the coup.
