LETTER TO EDITOR: Thank you – the best Pride ever!

“I would like to offer huge congratulations to the organisers of this years Pride. I have lost count of the number of people who have said it was the best Pride ever and social media is awash with praise for a simply wonderful weekend.

“I cannot begin to imagine the huge amount of work that went into making the event the massive success it was.

“Secondly, I cannot praise the emergency services enough. The bomb scare could have had a disastrous effect on Pride, but the swift action of the emergency services who all remained cheery and polite trying to deal with what must have been a very difficult situation is admirable.

“On a personal note, having a pub in Hove, us Hoveites tend to miss out on Pride. However, this year it was amazing to be able to witness the carnival atmosphere on the streets of Hove, it truly was the best Pride ever – thank you!”
