Traffic came to a standstill as a group of young people re-enacted the crucifixion in a Brighton suburb.

With a heavy wooden cross on his shoulder, 16-year-old Steven Emerson led members of St Andrews Church in Moulsecoomb through the neighbourhood.

A Salvation Army band played as up to 100 residents enjoyed the Good Friday sunshine and watched as Steven acted out events that happened more than 2000 years ago.

Meanwhile, a group of about 40 younger children remained at the church hall, painting, colouring and making Easter bunnies.
