EnglishLads at Brighton Pride 2011 - Photographs and Scribblings by Zack and Danny - 22nd August 2011
Once again just like Brighton Pride 2010 we pulled off an amazing day with the weather! When we arrived in Brighton it was drizzling and grey and then from about 11:30 it brightened up and the sun came out and stayed with us most the day! That was just the first of a plethora of great points from the day, the Brighton Pride production team were amazing and within a few minutes of entering the park we were all issued with backstage passes and as much help as we needed (thanks Andy!)

As the first Brighton Pride where an entry fee was charged I can safely say it has had no effect on the attendance or sheer buzz of the event. So Paddy O'Brian, Dan Broughton, Justin Harris, Jay Hall and I set upon the Pride Park to attend to business and boy is that what we did!! Pictures, USB giveaways, promotion booklets, which every one wanted signing and with more walking than the Duke of Edinburgh award those backstage passes sure did come in handy.

It was a pleasure to meet those of you who came I hope you enjoyed the day. Zack Elliot.

Wow!! What a day at Brighton Pride for us guys. It was up early on the Saturday morning, travelling from London down to Brighton, and I was still very sore from the GYM session with Zack the night before. As we arrived into Brighton Station, it was straight across the road to the Queens Head pub to strip out of our clothes, and stencil on the English Lads logo - oh, and a cheeky pint may have passed our lips to get us going! By this point there were crowds of people stood outside the pub looking through the windows sneaking a peek at us lads in very little clothes!

As we hit Preston Park the Sun was shinning, the beers were flowing and there was a white wash of camera flashes from every direction. We spent most of our time in the middle of the crowds as this was where it was most fun. Sun, alcohol, and surrounded by people that are grabbing your cock does cause the occasional hard on, so some got quite a bit more than what they bargained for.

We chilled out back stage 'when we could get away', and mixed with some of the celebs such as Alexandra Burke, and Joe McElderry, but we just really freshened up and got straight back out into where the main action was. The whole thing was amazing, and big thanks to the event organisers, production team who looked after us, and not forgetting the huge EnglishLads fans. Dan Broughton.

If anyone has any photos from the day that they would be happy for us to add here please contact me through the contact us page. Thank you to Sam Stephenson for his photos of the guys walking around (the last 7 of the ones below). nick
