The Pride Parade, proudly sponsored by Enjoy Wolverhampton BID, brought the community together as part of the city's celebration of the LGTBQ+ community.
Our photographer Tim Thursfield was there to capture the parade as it wound its way through the city centre from Victoria Street, ahead of the rest of today's entertainment at Pride Plaza in the Old Market Square where the celebration will be continuing until 10pm.
