A web site has started to help reunite long-lost friends and lovers with a Brighton connection.

The Brighton Friends site aims to get people back in contact with others they have met in the city.

The idea is similar to the successful Friends Reunited site in that web surfers can search for their former classmates or work colleagues.

A spokesperson said: "Brighton and Hove is a fun place where friendships are easily formed but it also has a very transient population."

The site can be found at www.brightonfriends.co.uk
