THE town centre streets of Middlesbrough were brought to a colourful standstill on Saturday when hundreds of people took part in the Community Pride event.
The parade was the pinnacle of the three-day celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender culture across the town.
People were also able to enjoy performances from some of the best drag acts from across the region, including Katy Kerry, Tay Cousins and R3action.
