Manchester Pride - pictures from the day

On a gloriously sunny August bank holiday Saturday afternoon I was proud to join dozens of colleagues from prisons and Probation Services marching in the main parade at Manchester Pride.

It was a colourful and noisy event which was extremely well attended and supported by the general public. In previous years we have used a float so hopefully next year we may be able to revisit this and encourage more members to enjoy the occasion.
