Thousands of people from the Oxford’s gay, bisexual and transgender community of people proudly marched through Oxford to mark the annual Pride.

Celebrations at the field then went into the early evening as revellers were entertained by local seven piece jazz outfit, the Original Rabbit Foot Spasm Band.

The theme for this year’s event, which was sponsored by public sector union, Unison, was 2010: A Proud Odyssey, and many revellers were dressed in space themed costumes.

Oxford Pride director Mazz Image said: “It’s important to have events like Oxford Pride to enable everyone to come together and celebrate different communities.”
