All the best sass, trash and ass from the UK's finest LGBT celebration

So there we have it, another rollicking Manchester Pride disappears over the horizon in a flurry of rainbow flags, sparkle beards and killer heels.

And from the big parade to Take That on the main stage, Mel C to the Manchester Bee, the leather-clad bears to the cheers, tears and prayers, the 2017 edition of the UK's largest LGBT celebration was another one sure to live long in the memory.

And while there's thousands of images which capture the vibe of this year's Big Weekend, here's 50 that made us smile...
