Leeds getting ready for Pride 2018

A floral representation of the Pride flag '“ the iconic symbol for the LGBT+ community '“ has been officially unveiled on the Leeds Pride parade route through Leeds city centre.

The colourful ‘flower-towers’ form part of a number of ways the city is celebrating in the lead up to this year’s Leeds Pride on August 5. Passers-by and visitors to the busy Penny Pocket Park, opposite Leeds Minster, will now be able to enjoy the display designed by Leeds City Council’s parks and countryside team.
