At on Saturday, we held a short period of silence to remember the victims of homophobic and hate crime. Rather sadly, these two gentlemen were seriously assaulted on the way home after a night out. We wish them a full and quick recovery, and justice prevails!

A man “feared for his life” after he and his boyfriend were attacked outside Blackburn train station, leading to eight people being arrested.

One thing we look forward to after the event is the video from Myami Media, who has joined us for the past 3 years.

It’s a fun and wonderful way to look back on the day and the memories made.

Thank you as always to Holly Myami!

Well, that's Blackburn Pride over with for another year.

Fantastic to see so many colourful stalls.

A big thank you also to all our sponsors, and to TecAudio, Prestige Security, Blackburn Police, Blackburn Fire & Rescue, Blackburn Museum, BwD Council, King George’s Hall, all the performers and a big thank you to our fantastic host, Tinker Paradise.
