Thousands turned out to watch Manchester Pride’s huge annual parade in dazzling sunshine.

Floats, musicians, cars, dancers and performers made their way through city centre streets watched by thousands of spectators lining the route.

The theme of this year’s parade was ‘love’ - with heart-shaped balloons, ‘cupid’ stilt walkers and wedding themed costumes.

The Coronation Street cast also lead the parade in a fantastic wedding-themed float - complete with a bridal veil and tin cans tied to the back.

Meanwhile members of comedy drag group Salford Ladies Union and Temperance Society dressed in twinsets and pearls to berate crowd members and brandish placards reading ‘Fifty shames of Gay’ in a parody of conservatism.
