review

If you've never put together a float or been part of a walking group for a parade then you may not have realised just how much work goes into each and every entry. This morning, to make things even more difficult for everyone, the rain tipped down on us too.

Nevertheless - groups of eager, good humoured people gathered on the seafront, despite it being more than a little damp, to put the final touches to their parade entries. And of course - groups of volunteers arrived to ensure the whole thing got off to a safe start. And supporters under umbrellas turned up to watch the whole thing take shape.

REALBrighton's coverage of the parade setup and our coverage of the parade this year was sponsored by the lovely girls at Crown Gardens - for which we are very grateful! Their website has details of some fabulous properties for short holiday lets - please do drop in on them at www.crown-gardens.co.uk! Our float was also supported by Legends Hotel and Amsterdam Hotel - many, many thanks to them both!

about Crown Gardens

There's no doubt about it - the short term or holiday letting option can be a very practical alternative to hotels, not to mention that if there are a few of you who want to stay a few nights, it can be very good value for money. We know. When we're zooming about the country en-masse, it's the first option for us, and provides a great temporary headquarters for us to work from. But to easily find ...
