Hundreds of men and women gathered topless on Brighton beach for the 'Free the Nipple' campaign to make the sight or breasts more normal.

Two hundred women and men paraded topless around Brighton Beach at the weekend to highlight controversial social media policies about banning female nipples.

The Sunday afternoon march started from Brighton Pier, and then headed along the East Sussex city seafront before stopping on the beach - where everybody sunbathed topless.

Hundreds of men and women staged a protest on one of Britain's most popular beaches to 'Free the Nipple' and make boobs more acceptable in society - by stripping

The women hope to normalise the sight of normal women's breasts as usually only models and filmstars are seen topless

One member who attended the event said: 'It was lovely, I felt proud and fantastic.

'There wasn't any negativity or aggression, all we got was a lot of smiles and a lot of support and cheering.'

The event was organised by comedian Samantha Pressdee, who came to Brighton with her one-woman comedy show about nudity and sexuality.

Miss Pressdee said: 'I've been a member of the Free The Nipple campaign over the past year.

'I joined the campaign to challenge the way women's breasts were perceived.

'Breasts have been sexualised and the point of this campaign is that they don't have to sexual.'

Miss Pressdee, 33, from Walsall, is known for usually performing her acts topless and did so again in advance of a run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Men also took part in the event, during which hundreds of people took over Brighton beach (pictured)

She said members of the public joined the march by taking off their tops with 'Free the nipples' painted on their body.

She said: ' We had a lovely time, loads of pictures were taken.

'We ended up relaxing on the beach, some people decided to go for a swim whilst others brought out their guitars'.

Although there was one negative aspect of the event when a man and his son came across the group, he then told his son to 'cover his eyes'.

Miss Pressdee added: 'There's nothing wrong with kids seeing nudity if it's not in a sexual context'.

International Go Topless Day is the next event that has rallies in 60 cities around the world preparations are in place as the group look assemble once again for the event rally on August 28th.
