Here are the 17 best pictures from the Brighton Pride parade
Over 160,000 lined the streets of Brighton and paraded in one of the UK’s biggest Pride events today (1 August).
While there was a 90 minute delay, thanks to a bomb scare that was quickly dealt with, it didn’t dampen spirits.
George Montague, at 92 who calls himself the ‘oldest gay in the village’, married his partner Somchai Phukkhlai yesterday (31 July).
‘If we could have, we would have married 20 years ago when we met! It feels no different being married, but we’re doing it to promote gay marriage!’ Montague told Gay Star News.
Phukkhlai added: ‘It’s great that same-sex marriage is here, even for couples like us that don’t need it. It shows that gay marriage is an important part of life.’
And with a message to everyone in Brighton: ‘Enjoy Pride as much as we are!’

14. Or little monsters, it didn’t matter. Everyone was here for a good time.
15. So whether you were there to party…
16. Everyone knew that, at the end of the day, they were celebrating uniqueness, identity…
17. But most of all love.
