The countdown to Pride is underway - with a "rainbow road crossing" being unveiled on Brighton seafront as part of the celebrations to mark LGBT Pride month.

The artwork, which stretches across the road at the artists' quarter of Madeira Drive, was painted over two days.

It was opened by Brighton artist and musician Heather Peace, who called the artwork "a gift from me to anyone that embraces diversity".

The parade and celebration will take place on Saturday August 2.

William Ranieri reports for Latest TV.
