Doncaster North MP Ed Miliband has voiced his support

A Doncaster MP has voiced his support for this weekend’s Doncaster Pride, calling it a “great” event and “a day of celebration and solidarity.”

The annual spectacular takes place at Town FIeld tomorrow following a parade through the city centre, with thousands expected to attend.

Doncaster North MP and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has shared a message of support ahead of the event and said: “This Saturday is Doncaster Pride, an important event in the local calendar.

“I know from speaking with constituents that this is such a great event for Doncaster, and not just those from the LGBTQIA+ community.

“Pride is about celebration, but it's also about solidarity.

“It's a chance to say clearly: everyone in our community deserves to feel safe, respected and able to be themselves, whoever they love and however they identify.

“We will keep celebrating Pride and keep standing with LGBTQIA+ people in Doncaster and across the country.

“Huge thanks to everyone who organises and volunteers to make Doncaster Pride happen each year. “

Event-goers will be able to enjoy two stages of high-energy music and entertainment, classic fairground fun with lots of rides and games, Pride market stalls with gifts galore, family activities and crafts and a wide variety of food and beverages.

The day gets under way with the Parade of Unity, setting off from Duke Street at 11:15am and heading towards Town Fields for the fun and festivities.
