Despite torrential rain a large group of people entered into the spirit of the day and dressed up for the Drag Queen races at todays Easter Bonnet Parade.
Cllr Denise Cobb the Major of Brighton and Hove was in attendance at the event which was staged to raise money for the Sussex Beacon by the landlords of the Bedford Tavern and Grosvenor Bar in Western Street on the borders of Brighton and Hove.
The annual event is very popular with local residents who took cover inside both bars while the races were conducted outside in the rain. Many people who have moved away return loyally to the street every year to maintain the tradition of the Easter Bonnet Parade.
