Despite the storm, hundreds of people headed down to Durham Pride last weekend to celebrate the county’s LGBT community  – and it was definitely worth it!

Here are some of the best bits.

At midday, a colourful parade spread through the town centre, with a rainbow-decorated police car even taking part in the celebrations.

And, of course, the wonderful rainbow flags could be seen for miles (OK, maybe a bit of an exaggeration but there were A LOT!).

Then, the celebrations continued well into the evening for the over 18s.

With a number of fabulous acts, including Jedward, Booty Luv, and even a Little Mix tribute, this was definitely a night to remember.

It is estimated that over 8000 people attended the event, showing that even during hard times we all come together to support one another.

The success of the event just shows how much love there is for everyone in the local community!

If you attended this year’s Durham Pride, what were your best bits?
