Dozens of people turned out in all the colours of the rainbow for Newbury’s first ever Pride event on Saturday.

The event, celebrating equality and the LGBTQ+ community, had been twice postponed due to Covid-19.

A parade waving flags and banners marched from Victoria Park at 1.30pm to Market Place, followed by an after-party at The Canal Bar.

Pictures show the success of the event.
