Proud to announce that Liverpool Pride can continue

POPULAR EVENT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CANCELLED

- By PAUL MCAULEY ECHO Correspondent

LIVERPOOL'S Pride festival is back on, with the promise of being "louder, prouder and truly ours".

This year's city-wide event and march had been cancelled, with the organisers blaming what they called significant financial and organisational challenges.

The organisers said they had also cut ties with sponsors Barclays, which created further issues with staging the annual event.
