Pride celebration attracts record number of visitors

A record number of people turned out to celebrate Ely's Pride event.

The Cambridgeshire city held its fifth celebration on Saturday, with almost 6,000 people joining in, which organisers said was the largest crowd to date.

There were about 60 stalls selling food and crafts, and throughout the day and evening more than 20 performers took to the main stage in Jubilee Gardens.

Sarah Marsh, a trustee of Ely Pride, said: "It was such a delight to see so many people, young and old, from every walk of life, all together having a great time."
