Barford Court residents celebrate Pride month with a drag queen sing-along

Like a same-sex couple walking hand in hand, June and Pride Month have now become an item – and residents at Barford Court, in Hove, are aware of this.

To celebrate Silver Pride (essentially, Pride for people over 50), they welcomed Lovinia Belle, a local drag queen that brought in a rainbow of joy and music to residents and staff. Barford Court was filled with old and new tunes, and the event became a celebration of love and diversity with singing and dancing.

“This is fantastic; what a voice!” said resident Cecilia. “What great shoes; how colourful!” said Sylvia. “I love her earrings,” added resident Roy.
