Tributes have been paid to former Manchester Pride chief executive John Stewart following his death.
Mr Stewart, who had been diagnosed with cancer, died on Saturday aged 49. He joined Pride, the LGBTQ+ charity that organises the annual Pride festival, in January 2012, but stepped down 22 months later.
During his time in the role he oversaw the Supersonic event at Manchester Airport's Concorde Hangar and the introduction of the new dance arena at the Big Weekend.
