Cleethorpes proud to host Grimsby Gay Pride
Cleethorpes did the Grimsby Gay Pride event proud today as thousands gathered at the Meridian Showground for a spectacular day.
Despite grey clouds this morning, the sun eventually came out for a family fun day full of fantastic live music, fairground rides, stalls, refreshments and of course, a beer tent!

What I liked was that the entertainment on stage was just non-stop which kept the momentum going. Local acts included Sambalada, Ryan Jagger, Curtain-Up Productions and the A&M Dance Troop.
With Waltzers, sphere balls, merry go round rides, rodeo bull, crazy golf, hook-a-duck a bouncy castle and a great Titanic bouncy slide, there was plenty for all the family.
Lots of people in the audience had really dressed-up for the occasion making for a colourful rainbow of outfits - including 'Pink'.

“Why can't the telegraph report accurately? Look at the pictures. It is clear that there were a few hundred there - NOT 'thousands'.”

“Who said there was thousands?...it was quite a good crowd towards the end of the day but maybe not quite thousands lol. I wasnt drunk enough for the cheesy music. We are gay doesnt mean i want to listen to I AM WHAT I AM 5 times and showtunes. Oh well besides that good job even if it did leave a hole in my pocket at the bar lol and no cash machine Were the bar prices that high last year because I didnt notice as much then am sure it was £2.50 any drink last time not £3.70. I understand a profit needs to be made but not every one can afford to be gay at pride, i know most of my friends couldnt afford many so it was a sober time for them.
Moaning aside we all had fun from scunny.”

“1000's ? is that the same thousands that were at cleefest and the armed forces event or is it the same reporter that reported the magical '600' that were at the 'scooter (car)' rally at king georges on bank holiday.just report the real numbers...a couple of hundred max!”
