Moving from last year’s venue of Belle Vue park into the heart of the city Centre, a vibrant procession of LGBTQI+ individuality made its way from John Frost square to the Riverfront Theatre and Arts centre in the final hour of the morning. It was wonderful to witness a sense of community spirit, acceptance, love and passion from participants and onlookers alike.
