I write to enquire whether any readers can shed any light on a rather odd sight - even for Brighton - spotted on Monday.

I had to walk along Eastern Road at Sussex Square a few times that morning and each time high on a wall stood a glamorous but bedraggled, woman/man wearing a lilac ballgown and bright pink curly wig.

She was serenely fanning herself in the morning sun and bidding good morning to passers-by.

Does anyone have any information on this mysterious, hairy-legged individual?
