The Brighton Morris Men wait for the 12.00 start. This year's theme was Latin American, and there was also a wartime element ...
The Morris Men hurtle down Southover Street towards the Annunciation Church in Washington Street, the official start of the parade.

The Dover Castle hosted a barbecue and a live reggae band outside on the day.

A different style of music in Washington Street.
Wings were also a theme on the day ...
Lunches and teas were served in the garden of the Annunciation Church for those in need of a cup of tea and a sit down.
A multitude of stalls with crafts, community groups, bric-a-brac, food, plants, clothes and jumble in Washington Street and Coleman Street ...

There were plenty of activities for children, including 'makeovers', hair wraps and learning to juggle in the garden of the Hanover Community Centre.
The Community Garden is looking much better, and is a real resource for the community. Volunteers are still needed for maintenance and development.
