Fun Day in the Pavilion Gardens

So yesterday was the day set for Brighton Lions to hold their Fun Day in the gardens of the Royal Pavilion, all profits going to Help for Heroes. Things didn't look too promising when I woke to see thick mist. Could we really get temperatures of 25 as forecast? As it turned out, we did.
