Brighton is marking St George's Day with a childrens' parade on April 23.

The Brighton based children's Charity, Sparkles and Surprises is taking over George Street in the city for the after-school parade.

The popular shopping street will be festooned with red and white flags for the St George-themed fancy dress childrens' parade from 4pm.

The Friends theatre group will also perform a play about the story of St George.

Children can pay £1 to enter the parade. The money raised will help children with special needs and their families.
