Bolton Pride: Hundreds march in spectacular parade

The parade was led by the main drag queens who were accompanied by a band playing a mixture of upbeat classics, including It’s Raining Men.

Colourful flags and bright clothes could be seen all across Bolton, as people waved their flags.

Some were supporters and others were taking part in the event.

Firefighters and police also joined the parade, waving their flags and ensuring everything went smoothly.

The parade started at The Sward Building (University of Bolton) opposite The Chancellor’s Building this morning.

It then continued on to College Way towards McDonald’s, continuing down Trinity Street, past Sainsbury’s on the right and Morrison’s on the left, past the train station up to Bradshawgate.

As the parade got closer, bystanders cheered, including business owners who came to watch the parade.

And then finally up to Victoria Square.

The event officially kicked off yesterday with an official launch party, and it will be going on all day today until 11pm, and until 6pm tomorrow.

This year’s festival is even bigger than last years, with even more stalls, and live music and entertainment.

Tomorrow there will be a family fun day with Pride organisers working closely with Bolton Wanderers in the Community.
