Crowds have taken to the streets of Belfast for the city's annual pride parade.
Whilst it might be damp and dull weather wise – those attending say they won’t let the forecast rain on their parade.Organisers saying they chose the topic because mental health is something that affects everyone in a multitude of ways.Kirsty Mulholland is the co-chair of Belfast Pride and says this year's parade has been in the making pretty much since last year's ended - and is the culmination of a full year's work.
“With any pride festival it’s important that it’s not just a big celebration and that we do have a message to deliver, " she said. “We are here to deliver the message 'love your mind' and we are saying to everyone that is here today – and in our community – that you are loved, that you belong with all of us and that you matter."Jackson Kenny, who was parading alongside the Belfast Trans Resource Centre, said it was “really important to have Pride events because queer rights are under attack at the minute”.
