Huge crowds of festival goers were turned away from a stage at Manchester Pride on Sunday evening ahead of a much anticipated performance by Spice Girl Mel C. Queues could be seen forming at the barriers next to Sackville Gardens at around 9pm.
However, shortly after, disappointed wristband holders were then told they could not get through to the Alan Turing stage. It is understood the gardens had reached their maximum capacity.
Videos from the four-day festival, which has been held in Manchester's Gay Village since Friday (August 26) showed huge swathes of people attempting to get past the barriers to watch the performance on Sunday evening, which will also see Drag Race star Bimini Bon Boulash take to the stage.
