It's good to have locals willing to put on a show like this... 60,000 expected, but in the end more than 200,000 people (or 400,000 depending on your source) descended on Brighton beach to wave their hands in the air, scream, shout and generally go a little bit mad. And not a single f*cking whistle all day! Hoorah!
Dodging the flying bottles and glasses in the Decoy queue was tough, but huge credit to Decoy for not cashing in on the crowd - they didn't relax their strict gay-majority door-policy. A great way to end an entertaining day!
To help revive your memories of the event, for those of you who's memories fail you today (!), here are three short movieclips:
