In pictures: Brighton Pride 2017

The city of Brighton is nursing a sore head today after the the Sussex seaside town saw its annual Pride event take place on Saturday.

An estimated 300,000 people gathered for one of the UK’s biggest Pride events, which started with a parade from the beachfront through the city centre towards Preston Park, where crowds were treated to music from the likes of Louisa Johnson, Years & Years and the legendary Pet Shop Boys.

With a theme of #SummerofLove, this year’s event took on an even more celebratory tone than usual as the UK marks 50 years since the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales.

Relive the action below:
