Melanie C captures security staff dancing along to her set at UK Pride in Newcastle

Melanie C captured a member of security staff dancing along to her DJ set as she headlined Northern Pride in Newcastle on Saturday night.

The Spice Girl icon had the job of bringing the curtain down on a colourful day of festivities at the Town Moor, after celebrations got going earlier on in the day with a huge Pride march from the Civic Centre, which attracted a crowd over 30,000 participants. Other acts on the main stage at the Moor on Saturday included Say Something dance diva Karen Harding and Drag Idol Newcastle winner turned Drag Race UK contestant Choriza May.

Melanie, who first shot to worldwide pop fame when Wannabe topped the charts 26 years ago now, delighted Pride revellers with a DJ set that even included Spice Girls' 1996 Christmas number one 2 Become 1 and Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels; a track from Todrick Hall, the singer who kicked off the UK Pride action in Newcastle at the Launch Party on Friday night.
