manchester pride parade 2010

Thousands of people attended Manchester's 20th annual gay Pride parade and celebrations over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The parade, part of the Big Weekend that concludes Pride week, was this year led by Sir Ian McKellen. Despite damp weather, organiser Jackie Crozier told the BBC that the turnout was "fantastic".

She added: "We're absolutely delighted with the amount of people who turned out and also the people that put so much effort into their parade entries."
