The package turned out to be a pinhole camera intended to take photographs over an extended period of time. The citation on the award, read: "Miss Jason is thanked by Sussex Police for assisting in the evacuation of a large number of people during Brighton & Hove's Pride 2015 celebrations following the discovery of a suspicious package. Miss Jason displayed great professionalism and helped to ensure a calm and organised evacuation putting the safety of the local community first." Chief Super Nev Kemp, said: "My officers reported that Miss Jason was a considerable help in keeping people calm and in a good mood during the long wait to establish if the package was dangerous. We did not want to let his contribution in keeping the crowd good-tempered and safe go unrecognised." Miss Jason added: "It was so camp my dears! I had a wonderful time keeping everyone entertained in the long wait to establish how serious the situation was. Everyone played their part and the most important thing is that no one was hurt, everyone had a great day and I am very happy to have played my part." 8 DAILY NEWS UPDATES ON ) WWW.GSCENE.COM BRIGHTON & HOVE BLACK VALENTINE’S PARTY RAISES CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL £201.75 FOR THE RAINBOW FUND WOMEN’S DAY ) Brighton Women’s Centre and Brighton Dome will celebrate the 105th International Women’s Day (IWD) with an action-packed day of entertainment, films, workshops, exhibitions, discussions, history tours and children’s activities.

  • Karen & Jason to Kiss and Make up at Dancing on Ice Final?
    Karen & Jason to Kiss and Make up at Dancing on Ice Final? Submitted by: SEPR Friday, 25 March 2011 Dancing on Ice draws to a close with the live final on Sunday night, with the skating finale drawing the curtain on one of TV’s biggest on-screen spats. Head coach Karen Barber and acid-tongued judge Jason Gardiner have endured a feisty relationship throughout the 2011 series, but Boylesports.com (http://www.boylesports.com) is going 5/1 on the feuding pair to kiss and make-up during Sunday’s final. Barber has previously confronted the Aussie this over comments that he made about the performance of contestant and VC hero Johnson Beharry, a critique that drew more than 3,000 viewer complaints, and the pair have been involved in some furious exchanges throughout the series. As for the contestants, Sam Attwater is the 10/11 favourite although a few below-par performances have raised question marks other his chances, with Boylesports.com going 4/1 that he drops the any of the girls he lifts and 12/1 that he falls and breaks a bone during his routine. Sam may however look to collect a few extra votes by setting the audience’s pulses raising, with the bookmaker at 15/8 that he goes topless during the show. As for fellow finalists Chloe Madeley and Laura Hamilton, Chloe is the favourite to be eliminated on the night first at 4/9, with Laura at 3/1 and Sam at 5s. Boylesports.com is also 14/1 on either Laura or Chloe suffering from any sort of “wardrobe malfunction” during the final.
