It was the first Worthing Pride, but organisers certainly did the town proud delivering an event that was accessible, with plenty of first class entertainment for everyone and a good turnout of groups and organisations who support the LGBT+ communities in Worthing.
AS the sun beat relentlessly down on Worthing Seafront, the inaugural Worthing Pride successfully managed to capture the atmosphere of what Pride is all about with more than 600 people registered on the parade and almost 3,600 buying tickets for the event on the park where they enjoyed an afternoon of first class entertainment provided by Abba Magic, Allan Jay, Kid Ivy, Paul Diello, DJs Trick and Missy B, Davina Sparkle, Miss Disney, Miss Jason, Jason Thorpe, Jason Lee, and Eva La Diva.
The afternoons entertainment was superbly hosted by Spice and programmed by DJ Claire Fuller current holder of the Golden Handbag for Best local DJ.
Sadly the Mayor of Worthing, Cllr Paul Baker had a prior engagement, however the Mayor of Littlehampton Town Council, Cllr Billy Blanchard-Cooper was on hand to bring civil approval to the proceedings.
