A city pool which was forced to shut after a dead seagull was found in it has reopened.
The public paddling pool in King's Road, Brighton, was shut by Brighton and Hove City Council to undergo a deep clean.
Contractor Freedom Leisure worked to ensure the water was clean and safe after a dead seagull was removed from the pool earlier this month.

The seafront attraction was "super-chlorinated" on July 17 and the water was re-tested.
It was found to be safe and was reopened 11 days later on July 28.
Other free council paddling pools and water features can be found on the seafront at Hove Lagoon and Peter Pan’s Playground and at The Level and Saunders Park.
The playground next to the paddling pool in King's Road remained open throughout the cleaning process.
