Pride Sundays are often my favourite days. Everyone's chilled out, and if you're lucky, you get to attend a fab little street party with plenty of entertainment!

The first half was hosted by the completely mad Pixie Perez - dressed like Big Bird on Speed who subjected unfortunate passers-by to some light-hearted verbal and physical abuse.

Acts on stage included Copy Cats from Birmingham, Caroline Cooper (Charlotte Church's auntie), Dolly Diamond (the artist formerly known as Dolly Quicksand), Lola Lasagne (who took over the introductions later in the evening), a Kylie tribute act (who I mistakenly thought was Madonna... oh... the beers!) and Kitty Litter.

The party went on through the dusk and the until the gathered throng were suitably merry. A lovely way to finish the weekend!

loved it!
