Selected photographs from Newcastle Pride are now on Commons at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Newcastle_Pride_2017
By informally joining the press, I managed to get some decent portrait shots, the puppies were fun. The photo of the Lord Mayor at the front of the march seems pretty useful, as Commons as no other photographs of her.
I didn't manage to get to the festival, husband being impatient to spend most of the weekend getting to some museum collections and archaeological sites, the Mithraic mysteries being a local theme right now... some of those photos will gravitate to Commons later.

Nudge. If anyone has photos on their camera from last weekend's Pride in London, don't forget to upload them to Commons and add the 2017 category. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pride_in_London_2017
I'm going to be able to join Newcastle Pride next weekend, the march is on Saturday with the festival running from Friday through to Sunday. It's one of the UK's largest events with over 12,500 joining the parade last year. I'll be taking some photographs of the start. If anyone is handy for Newcastle, it would make a neat photography project, or maybe you just fancy the free festival events and the all night clubbing that the city is famous for and could share some shots afterwards that help capture the scene for prosperity. :-) http://www.northern-pride.com/event/parade
