Thousands cheer on the first Worthing Pride parade whose message Love is Love was captured in a riot of colour and dancing on Saturday, July 14.

UNDER blue skies and soaring temperatures more than six hundred people from a wide range of voluntary and statutory organisations marched and danced the length of the Worthing Pride parade from The Burlington Hotel to Beach House Grounds, as thousands of locals and tourists lined Worthing seafront to cheer them on.

Led by Celebration Samba and the fabulous dancers from The Marta Scott Dance Company (MSDC) groups registered on the parade included: Worthing Scouts, Unite, Adur and Worthing Council, Adur and Worthing Conservatives, Unison, Northbrook College, GSK, Brooksteed Alehouse, Concordia Group, Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus, the Met and Brighton & Hove Sea Serpents Rugby Club.

Worthing Pride was raising money for Brighton based Allsorts Youth Project and West Sussex Coastal Mind, the charity delivering mental health support in Worthing, Midhurst, Littlehampton, Bognor and Chichester.
