One person has been arrested and eight given fines as dozens of people gathered to remember murdered Sarah Everard and make a stand on women's safety in Sussex.
Sussex Police said they were made aware of a gathering of around 150 people in Brighton's Valley Gardens shortly before 6pm yesterday (March 13).
Reclaim These Streets vigils had been organised in memory of 33-year-old Sarah, whose death last week sparked national outcry around women not feeling safe on the streets.
