Folkestone Pride takes place in the town on Saturday, with organisers promising it will be "the most exciting and diverse yet".

The event begins with a parade through the town, starting at the bottom of the Old High Street at 13:00 BST.

It will continue along Sandgate Road and onto the Leas, where entertainment will take place on the bandstand between 14:00 and 18:00 BST.

The after party, being held at the Leas Cliff Hall, has already sold out.

Organisers said the day will be "family friendly, filled with love, music and unapologetic joy", with "unforgettable performances and a community that celebrates every colour of the rainbow".

The afternoon event on the Leas will feature drag artists, DJs and a Kylie Minogue tribute act.
