Brighton Pride: 16 Moments That Made 2017's Event Truly Spectacular

This year’s Pride event in Brighton saw 300,000 people descend on the seaside town for a fun-filled day of dancing and frivolity.

People of all ages, races and sexualities came together to celebrate the LGBT+ community and the fact it’s been 50 years since homosexuality was decriminalised.

Here are just a few of the standout moments:
