DUP MLA Jim Wells has said that he has ended his National Trust membership - seemingly over its decision to support Belfast Pride.

The South Down MLA posted on his Twitter on Saturday: "I have worked for the National Trust for a decade and have been a member for 19 years.

"I have resigned and will now support other charities."

The National Trust NI posted several images from the Pride march on its Twitter account.

They took part in the parade with a banner that read 'National Trust For ever, for everyone', with the National Trust logo backed in rainbow colours.

One tweet from the Trust's NI account read: "Really fantastic to be part of # Belfastpride today. Supporting diversity and our LGTB colleagues."

Thousands attended the annual parade in Belfast city centre where uniformed PSNI officers marched for the first time.

They were joined by officers from An Garda Siochana with both loudly applauded when they made their way down the parade route.
