Bury Times: Bury Pride 2018
Bury Pride 2018: Town celebrates equality and diversity
Rainbow flags flew proudly across the town centre as the march towards equality continued at Bury Pride.
Hundreds of people turned out at the town hall draped in the familiar colours to celebrate diversity event during its second year.
The day began with the seventh Walking Rainbow parade through the streets before guests were treated to an array of musical performances and speeches, including from singer and actress Toyah Willcox, who headlined the show.
The outdoor stage also hosted The Manchester Gay and Lesbian Chorus, Divas in Denial, fire eaters and Utopia UK, who were all compèred by Miss Sal Ford.
And LGBT groups and other organisations set up stalls and chatted to people about the day.
Bury Pride was launched last year with the aim of bringing people out on to the streets to celebrate equality and diversity.
