Queen Elizabeth Gardens have well and truly come alive today (Saturday September 4) as crowds gathered to support the city's Pride Festival.

Organised by Pride Salisbury, the event has brought live music and entertainment to the park, with 17 acts performing throughout the day.  

These include X Factor star Lloyd Daniels, The Stingrays, Marina E and Luscious Lips.

Last year, Pride celebrations were held virtually due to the pandemic.

However, organisers have worked round the clock to bring back the in-person event, which is designed to show solidarity to the LGBTQ+ community.

Today there was also a chance for people to grab a jab at a pop-up vaccine clinic set up in the park.

The move is part of the NHS's efforts to reach out to younger people and boost the uptake of the vaccine.

After 10pm, celebrations will move to The Chapel.
