BBC NEWS | England | Seaside-themed Pride draws crowds

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Brighton for the annual Pride parade through the city.

The theme for this year's event, which featured more than 50 floats, was "Pride beside the seaside".

The procession set off from Madeira Parade at 1100 BST before making its way along the seafront, North Street, past The Pavilion and to Preston Park.

It was the highlight of the week-long Pride festival, which has featured more than 100 events.

Pride spokeswoman Judith Manson said: "The parade looked fantastic, with large crowds lining the street.

"There were some superb floats."

Before the start of the parade she predicted this year's procession would be the "biggest and brightest".

I hope it went well. I went last year but left because queueing for half an hour to go to the loo is no fun.
