We feel we should issue a content warning at this point - this story contains Dad dancing, it also contains visual images of a politician having fun. You've been warned.

Pride seems to get bigger and better every year.

We can talk about the fantastic costumes, we can talk about the fantastic music, the camaraderie and the huge political importance of this event.

Okay.

But wouldn't you also like to see a video of the recently elected mayor Andy Burnham doing the YMCA?

There are a few things that make this a great video

Firstly the senior police officer to Andy's right - who is clearly having more fun than pretty much anyone else on screen - possibly more fun than anyone at Pride.

There's Andy's commitment to the moves and his mouthing the words of YMCA. Bet he knows all the verses.

Then there's his brief break to shake hands with someone in the crowd before resuming his involvement.

All in all it's a glorious thing. It was captured by many but none better than Benjamin Butterworth of Pink News - who we think summed it up perfectly.

The Burnham dancing was a highlight in a glorious day.

There was no fear of rain this year as the sun shone throughout the two-hour parade which set off from the top of Deansgate at 12.30pm.

It headed up along Peter Street before heading back into the Gay Village where the revels were continuing on into the afternoon and night with live music at the Big Weekend.

Saturday night sees Example with DJ Wire headline, supported by X Factor star Louisa Johnson performing on Sunday night before Clean Bandit take to the stage, and on Bank Holiday Monday, the Liberty X Girls will keep the party spirit alive.

But will anything top Andy's dad dancing?

We suspect not.
