Edinburgh was a sea of colour on Saturday as the city celebrated its 30th Pride parade.

Thousands flocked to the capital with flags and banners, with some in attendance from the very first event in what has been described as a “milestone moment” for the LGBTQ+ community.

Edinburgh was painted with all the colours of the rainbow to promote inclusivity and diversity.

Former X-Factor star Diana Vickers will also be taking to the stage in the capital.
