Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Belfast for the city's annual Pride parade, for what organisers believe was the largest ever.
Over 250 charities and organisations took part in the parade, which took more than two-and-half-hours to complete.
People, young and old, lined the streets to watch the colourful event.
Among those that led this year’s parade was Micky Murray, who is the city's first openly gay Lord Mayor.
This year’s theme was "Love Your Mind", which was chosen to raise awareness about mental health.
Co-Chair of Belfast Pride Kirsty Mulholland said: "Just about everyone across Belfast will have had experience dealing with mental health issues personally, with a partner, our children, a family member or a friend.
"And it is a sad fact that poor mental health is something that disproportionately affects members of the LGBTQIA+ community."
Ms Mulholland said that being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community does not "automatically mean a person will struggle with their mental health".
However, she added that such individuals "are at a higher risk of experiencing poor mental health".
"Being LGBTQIA+ doesn’t cause these problems, but being on the receiving end of homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and other forms of discrimination can," she said.
"The flip side of this is that being out and proud can have a tremendously positive mental impact," she added.
Ms Mulholland said that the event’s message "to all LGBTQIA+ people is that you are loved, you matter, and that you belong here with all of us".
