Thousands participated in the city's Leicester Pride annual LGBTQ+, with over 3,500 joining the parade that started at the Curve travelling through the heart of Leicester, passing some of the city's most recognisable landmarks and arriving at Abbey Park.

Organisers say at its peak up to 20,000 people attended the event at Abbey Park.

Leicester Pride has deliberately maintained its free-entry model, helping ensure that the celebration remains accessible to the whole community.

As a registered charity, Leicester Pride works with sponsors and partners to keep the festival free, with money raised invested into its annual events or donated to other local LGBTQ+ charities.

Alongside the party, organisers say the event remains rooted in the principles on which Pride was built: LGBTQ+ visibility, equality, community, support and the right for people to live openly and authentically.

The scale of Leicester Pride also reflects the extraordinary strength of Pride across the Midlands, with celebrations now taking place in cities, towns and communities throughout the region.
