Street performers, glitter wings, and a march for peace for Manchester Pride 2022
Last weekend the streets of Manchester filled with rainbows, glitter, feathers, and good vibes for the first time since Harry Styles performed at Old Trafford, all thanks to Manchester Pride.
We had a chat with some Pride icons about everything that's changed surrounding the event this year, and we also sent photographer Chris Keller-Jackson to take some exclusive snaps at the march for peace parade, the village party, and just in and around the bustling streets on bank holiday weekend.
Be prepared for pink cowboy hats, drag-filled floats, and a giant rainbow dove thrown in for good measure. Send it to your mates if you spot them in the crowd.
Here are our top 100 photos from Manchester Pride 2022
