If you're catching the bus around Brighton & Hove this summer, make sure you grab a seat on the top deck.

Bus stops around the city are being turned into photo gallery, only viewable from above.

Over 65 images will be supersized and placed on flat bus stop roofs for show by famous photographers Martin Parr and JJ Waller.

The Beside the Sea exhibition shows iconic British seaside scenes including ice creams, beaches and seagulls stealing chips!

    Each of the photo postcards will also be on display at a local art gallery so they are easily accessible for those not able to get to the top deck of the busses.

Waller and Parr, the artists behind the idea, said they wanted to do something different for this exhibit, which is part of the 2025 Brighton Festival.

"Photography has the ability to be shown anywhere, and this is the most original location I can think of," said Parr.

"There is nowhere more British than the seaside" he added.

Waller said he was inspired by bus journeys with his mum when he was younger.

"For her, it was a carefree break from suburban life, and for me, it was a window to another world."

Organisers said the exhibition will visible from bus shelter roofs from 22 April with the photos also be displayed at the Hove Museum of Creativity.
