THOUSANDS of people lined the streets of Truro for Cornwall's first ever gay pride parade.
There was a sense of surprise, amazement and amusement from the 3,000 or so residents and visitors as they watched the colourful lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) parade march through the streets amid a flurry of rainbow flags, feather boas, outlandish outfits, dance routines and raucous floats.
Organisers of the first Cornwall Pride Festival said up to 500 people took part in Saturday's trouble-free event.
