Manchester Pride 2022: Glitz and glamour makes for a Saturday night spectacular both on and off stage

Thousands flocked to the Gay Village yesterday to enjoy a Saturday spectacular of entertainment and fun as Manchester Pride continued well into the night.

With the Parade kicking the day off with a flamboyant procession of floats, marches and rainbow flags, many then headed into the village to enjoy a roster of talent on offer while soaking up the very-welcomed sunshine.

The glorious weather brought in some equally glorious outfits, with cowboy hats and glitter clearly being on the top of must-wear lists for many.

Throughout the day, the likes of Lady Bushra, Tia Kofi, Bailey J Mills and Kitty Scott-Claus performed on the Alan Turing stage in Sackville Gardens, while the Mancunity Stage on Chorlton Street Car Park brought together a celebration of Black Pride MCR. Meanwhile, the Cabaret Stage at Sackville Car Park featured showcases from The Enby Show, Queeriosity and The Bitten Peach.

As day turned to night, performers including Ginny Lemon, Black Peppa, Danny Beard and RuPaul's Drag Race UK star Victoria Scone - who sported a Dalmation-esque number - all took to the stage before headliner Nadine Coyle ended the night in style with a medley of Girls Aloud hits.

Today, we'll see Melanie C, Bimini and Charity Shop Sue all take to the stage as we hope the sunshine remains out in full force yet again.
