Arranged by his long-time friend and colleague **Billie Lewis**, and **Brighton & Hove Buses**, the **number 1 service** will travel past the new [**Ledward Centre**](https://ledcen.org.uk/?ref=scenemag.co.uk) and through **St James’s Street** – the heart of LGBTQ+ Brighton.

**Martin Harris**, managing director of Brighton & Hove Buses, said: *“James’s contribution to Brighton’s LGBTQ+ community was huge. He continuously lobbied the government so that the LGBTQ+ community got its fair share of money to fight HIV and Aids and then he gave that community a voice when he founded Gscene. We’re proud to have his name on the front of one of our new buses.”*

**Billie Lewis** added: *“I was delighted to be able to work on this project with Brighton & Hove Buses from* *the beginning with James’ wonderful sister Ros and his much loved husband Besi. James is still desperately* *missed within the community and knowing his bus is on the route that goes near the new Ledward Centre and through the LGBTQ+ village is very comforting. I did chuckle to myself hearing him shout out ‘Do you want some onions to go with that mince?’ every time the stop bell is pushed!”*
