Gallery: Pride and joy as Cork parade the biggest in event’s history

Participants bursting with Pride during yesterday’s Cork Pride Parade through the city’s streets.

An estimated 15,000 people took to the streets of the city for the Cork LGBT+ Pride Parade.

Festival chair Clive Davis confirmed that the parade — a sea of magical floats, music, and mayhem, sequinned drag queens, glitter-covered guys and girls, families, friends and allies — was the largest ever.

Today’s parade was led by members of the transgender community who are campaigning for better healthcare and legal recognition for all members of the trans community.
