Brighton's Royal Pavilion has, of course, been bathed in coloured light before and it would be good to be able to mark special events in this way again in the future.

There are some technical problems to overcome and it may be that the existing floodlights (192 in number) are not the best solution.

The suggestion from Pride should be pursued and I really hope local businesses will see this as both an effective and fun way to "highlight" and support events in the city.
