Thousands mark 10 years of Channel Islands Pride
BBC Jersey communities reporter
Thousands of people turned out to celebrate 10 years of Pride in the Channel Islands.
Many wore bright colours and costumes to show their support for the LGBTQ+ community.
The Pride Pride started in the Royal Square at 13:00 BST before it made its way around St Helier to People's Park, as onlookers cheered it on.
There was live music, children's play areas and wellbeing zones available at the park so people could come and enjoy the day.
Kaye Nicholson, the CEO of the charity Liberate Jersey, joined the parade.
Liberate Jersey supports those who have been affected by discrimination and promotes equality and diversity in the island.
Ms Nicholson said they "had so many people turn out looking amazingly beautiful" and the event "was just a joyous occasion".
She added: "It's a really important opportunity for allyship and it needs to continue because we're seeing globally a rollback of LGBTQ rights and it's important we preserve that."
Dr Adam Perchard opened the main stage at People's Park
