Planned for 9pm this evening (June 19) at the Kissing Statue on Brighton Seafront, organisers have reluctantly postponed the Vigil following a sever bad weather forecast.
The event will be rescheduled soon. Watch this space for details.
Chris tragically died earlier this year following a fire at his home in Kemptown. He was a great campaigner for the people of Kemptown, especially those living in and around St James Street.
Chris was a lovely person and far too young to be lost to his community.
Following his family’s request for a private funeral a memorial service to celebrate his life has been organised by friends and colleagues on Sunday, June 19 from 3pm at St Mary’s Church, Kemptown.
The Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus will sing and the service will be led by Father Andrew Woodward.
Chris, a proud community activist, and very decent man, loved nothing better than seeing practical and positive improvements to St James’ Street and Kemptown, especially if it was achieved after he had fought on behalf of others who had decided something was needed to improve the area.
