Wigan Pride Sees Hundreds in Northern Town

ITV News reports that several hundred people marched through the town centre of the northern borough of Wigan for the annual Pride festivities.  The weather was not perfect, the ITV Newscasters reported, but this did not dampen spirits.  Despite the rain, people lined the streets to cheer on drag queens, LGBTQ+ charities and other organisations taking part in the parade.  A party in a local park continued through the afternoon with entertainment provided by pop acts, drag queens, and an address from the local Council.  Wigan Councillor Laura Flynn said "Wigan Pride "means an incredible lot to Wigan Council and too all residents in the borough"."  She continued: "It's a fantastic day to have fun, to celebrate, to be really visible, but to also really show that the LGBT+ community across Wigan are really valued and they have a place in our community."
