Tributes have been paid after the death of one of the icons of Brighton’s gay community.
Professional actress, singer and landlady at a number of pubs in Brighton and Hove, Tracy Davenport was one of the key figures in the establishment of the city’s gay scene.
Tracy, who died last week aged 63, was the landlady of the Queen’s Arms, in George Street, Brighton, and the Queen’s Head, in the nearby Steine Street, and has been credited with starting the careers of many drag acts.
