Extra security measures for Brighton Pride

Concrete barriers along one of the main routes of Brighton Pride is just one of the ways that Sussex Police is working with organisers of this year's Pride celebrations to keep everyone safe.

Brighton and Hove divisional commander, Chief Superintendent Nev Kemp, said: "We have been working hard for months with the Pride organisers in order to make sure as many people as possible get to have an enjoyable and safe weekend.
