Watch as 12,000 people march for Pride in Liverpool

A bit of rain was never going to stop thousands supporting the Pride in Liverpool annual march.

LCR Pride Foundation has reported that an estimated 12,000 people joined in the annual Pride in Liverpool march earlier today. Crowds gathered from early morning to get Pride ready ahead of a rousing muster gathering that galvanised the crowds ready to march.

There were a number of key note speeches, poignant moments of remembrance and live performances which received rapturous applause from the growing crowds. With rainbows, flags, feathers and more, the 12,000 strong crowd, led by The Michael Causer Foundation set off around the city streets.
