Staff, family and friends turned out in force to mark the milestone birthday in fabulous style, cheered on by many thousands of residents and visitors who lined the streets to show their support for the parade.

We're heading towards a year of celebration in 2016 with our 50th Brighton Festival and 150th year of Brighton Dome, so what better way to kick off the proceedings than celebrating the fabulous diversity of our glorious city. We hope you had as much fun as we did and can't wait to celebrate two huge landmarks for our organisation with you next year!
