After a spectacular Friday night kick-off, day two of Manchester Pride certainly needed to deliver - and that it did. After a cracking start on Friday night - which saw Trans Filth & Joy open the Alan Turing Stage - revellers turned out in their thousands to celebrate Manchester's LGBTQ+ community.
The starting point for Saturday? A walk down Liverpool Road, just off Deansgate, to get a sneak peek at the final preparations being put on the flamboyant floats and outfits for the much-loved Manchester Pride Parade.
It’s not often that you see a JCB, a steam train and a bus full of Corrie taking to the streets of Manchester City Centre, but today was all about going that extra mile, and as the clock struck 12, the Pride parade was well and truly underway. Making its grand return after a three-year hiatus, this year's parade was a march for peace - a theme that ran throughout the entirety of the proceedings.
