Brighton anticipates a turnout of hundreds of thousands of people this weekend, as the city marks the 35th anniversary of Pride. The parade starts at Hove Lawns, going through central streets before finishing near Preston Park, with a ticketed street party also set for Marine Parade. Organisers say the event has raised more than £1.4 million for LGBTQ+ causes, despite some criticism about corporate interests.
