This year's theme was "Deep Space Pride" and many of the revelers dressed up as Star Trek characters and had spaceship themed floats. There were rainbow designed displays and artwork throughout the city. During the weekend Ariana Grande performed at the Mayfield Depot just two years after the suicide bombing at her concert in the Manchester Arena To close the weekend there was a chance to reflect at a candlelit vigil in Sackville Gardens.

Thank you for sharing with us @Johnbhewitt , about the pride weekend in Manchester.

A real important day and, yes, you are right, just two year after that sad day.

Beautiful photo of a great moment

Hey @Johnbhewitt ,

Thanks for sharing your experience at the Pride Weekend. I love the unicorn made out of balloons, I don't think I have seen one in real life. Did you also dress up to match with this year's theme? 

I just remembered about this post 8 LG photos that celebrate Pride around the world. I think you might want to check it and see all the nice photos there.

Thanks for the recommendation @MoniDi the photos from around the world are amazing. I didn't dress up in a costume but wore my multicoloured  toucan shirt

Hi @Johnbhewitt 

Yes even I wish I could come there. I had been to UK in August/September 2017. The weather was fantastic and I had a good time.
