While researching the "Gay's the Word" tour, which takes place from 6.30pm at the Victoria (Dolphin) Fountain in Brighton next Friday, I discovered that Oscar Wilde often stayed in Brighton and on more than one occasion at the Royal Albion Hotel.
Strangely enough, there is nothing there to commemorate this fact. It would be interesting to see a blue plaque outside recording these visits.
I wonder what dear Oscar would have thought of the Royal Pavilion being lit in pink.
Could not the fountain be lit in pink in honour of Oscar for Pride Week?
It could look very pretty, surrounded as it is by colourful flowers.
