It may have been more than slightly damp, but the crowds still turned out in big numbers to watch the parade pass by... for which we were very grateful! To all those people who squelched home to change their clothes after the parade - thank you for cheering, clapping and appreciating the parade!

REALBrighton's 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!
