A colourful and flamboyant celebration of the local lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans communities is being held in Exeter today.
A huge rainbow flag will form the centrepiece of a parade through the High Street, to the Phoenix centre where the day's main events and entertainment will take place.
There's also a serious side to Exeter Pride - police are hosting a workshop on recognising and reporting 'hate crimes' against people from the LGBT communities, and Cartridges Solicitors will be offering free legal advice.
Exeter Pride is the biggest event of its kind in the south west and attracts people from all over the region - it's also supported by Devon and Cornwall police, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, Exeter University, Devon County Council, Exeter City Council, and several local businesses.
