Home Secretary visits Brighton AIDS Memorial
Home Secretary Theresa May visited the AIDS Memorial in Kemp Town yesterday afternoon (Friday 28 February).
She also visited the shop run by the Sussex Beacon HIV charity and Brighton Police Station in John Street.
Her visit was hosted by Simon Kirby, the Conservative MP for Brighton Kemptown, and included a meeting with Katy Bourne, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex.
The Home Secretary also met Chief Superintendent Nev Kemp, the Sussex Police commander for Brighton and Hove.
Mrs May said that Brighton had lessons to offer police in other areas about working with the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans) community.
At one point Mr Kirby tweeted: “Home Secretary shoe shopping at the great @sussexbeacon secondhand shop in Brighton.”
Her leopard-print shoes – and matching gloves – proved a talking point. And she posed alongside Mr Kirby who was wearing, as usual, a pair of Dr Martens.
