Glee Flash Mob at Brighton Pride...

Darren and I took part in a flash mob at Brighton Pride to the sounds of Don't Stop Believin', I Gotta Feeling, California Gurls and Just Dance. It was all choreographed by a secret YouTube link. Times and places on FB. Can you spot us in the mayhem? Probably not! Great fun.
