Windsor Castle's Long Walk hosts first pride march

Hundreds took part in the parade on the Long Walk

Windsor Castle's Long Walk has hosted the town's first pride parade.

The inaugural Windsor and Eton Pride event also saw participants march through the town centre, with events taking place in Alexandra Gardens.

Organiser Steve Harris said the free event, which has been two years in the planning, was a "safe space for everyone to mingle".

The event was given permission by the Crown Estate to march along the 2.5-mile (4km) tree-lined avenue in front of Windsor Castle.

Speaking before the event, Mr Harris said the entertainment at Alexandra Gardens, including bands, drag acts and karaoke lounge, would be "fabulous".

He described the event as a "festival of inclusion".

"We've designed it for anyone who has ever felt like they don't fit in," he said.

"It's absolutely amazing the entire area has got behind it."
