Thousands of visitors packed the Market Place in Doncaster on Sunday 16th August for the third annual Doncaster Pride and were treated to a stage show that was, according to one visitor, ‘the best entertainment Pride I’ve ever been to…’
South Yorkshire Police estimate that the ‘Walk of Unity’ attracted around a thousand participants and over the course of the day nearly 10,000 people filled the main stage area to see the seven-hour show and surprise fireworks spectacular finale. Organisers have been blown away by the sheer size of the event and the amazing comments both to the website and the Facebook page from all across the region and the country. Chair Trevor Jones said: ‘The comments we have had from the audience and the performers there on the day are absolutely amazing, as a committee we are extremely roud and humbled by the kind words and praise we have received. We always said we would raise the bar and we certainly have - we would like to thank everyone who helped us and sponsored us and made this event possible.’
Stage Manager Annette Ramsay said: ‘Every one of the performers said what a great time they had, how fantastic the crowd were and how well they were looked after - they all want to come and perform again next year!’
A Doncaster Pride official DVD is available on preorder from www.gaypridedvd.com and hundreds of photos are already on the Facebook page as well as the ‘official’ photos which are being uploaded to the website (see below)
