“The sun was shining for the day of festivities, which saw people come together in a show of unity to support the local LGBT community. Everyone – including our officers - enjoyed the day and did Donny proud!

“Officers spent time chatting with those who had gone along to enjoy the celebrations and spent time raising awareness of hate crime and overseeing the safety of the day.

“If you were there and got a picture with one of our officers at the event, share it with us on Twitter via @SYPtweet”
