Members of the LGBTQ+ community took to the streets of Sunderland on Saturday, June 27 for the city’s annual pride event.
Kicking off at 12 noon, the day started with a march through the city centre, starting at Park Lane before going through Blandford Street, Market Square and High Street West before ending at Keel Square for speeches and a party which ran through the afternoon.
These are some of the best photos from the march which started the day of celebration.
