Hundreds of people have celebrated 25 years of Hull Pride with a parade making its way across the city.

Pride in Hull, which took place on Saturday and which champions members of the local LGBTQ+ community, started out as a small event in Queens Gardens in 2002.

Andy Train, one of the organisers, said the event brought more than £1m to the local economy every year, adding that “we welcome everyone”.

“It can be quite a lonely world being LGBT+, if you don’t have good families and good friends. Allies are very important,” he said.

” I think that’s what we’ve captured in Hull by having a Pride like this.”
