The sun was shining in Brighton and Hove on Sunday for the 10th annual Brighton Equality March, which saw a record 750 people take part.  

The focus of this year's march, organised by Stonewall, was on raising funds to counter homophobic bullying in schools, something I have spoken out about in the past.

Stonewall estimates that more than half of gay young people face this kind of bullying at school, so there is still plenty of work to be done to change attitudes.
