SO that's it then, another Manchester Pride disappears over the horizon in a flurry of rainbows, glitter and candlelight.
And from Will Young's plastic bodystocking to Fleur East's protruding buttocks, from rippling Roman soldiers to leather-bound man bears, from Edwina Curry doing a jig to Jeremy Kyle administering a bollocking (to a bunch of bible-waving protesters), Manchester Pride 2016 is one likely to stick long in the memory.
And while there's hundreds upon thousands of images that sufficiently capture the essence of this year's Big Weekend, here's 50 that had us chuckling...
