March For England

Brighton came to a standstill today as EDL & MFE marchers clashed with anti-fascist protestors. Never seen so much police presence & cordoned off streets. Not going to comment too much on the politics...but blocking off the seafront, pier & Madeira Drive (which should have been filled with classic Jags) definitely put a dent in my day and was very inconvenient as was planning on taking my sister & her boyfriend down the pier :( I also feel sorry for traders who lost money on what must have been the hottest Sunday so far this year.
Jodie & I decided to head East along the beach after Emma left, taking the Volks railway to Black Rock for an ice cream & peek at the sand sculptures...so many good photos today but I've chosen the one that defines this day in Brighton history

3 Things
1. Sharing an ice cream on the beach
2. A lovely afternoon wander with my lady
3. Benji popping on to say hello & charge his phone
