VIDEO: Solidarity and celebration at post-vote Cork Pride

Grey skies didn’t dull the rainbow colours at Cork’s 10th annual Pride parade yesterday afternoon.

A 200ft rainbow flag; colourful balloons; a DJ playing disco hits from a mobile float; and participants representing a wide variety of organisations joined Cork’s first LGBT Pride parade since May’s marriage equality referendum.

Although the weather may have had an effect on the turnout, which was closer to the 10,000 mark than the 15,000 expected, spirits were very high.
