NOBODY can deny Oxford Pride left a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it.

The fiesta stole the spotlight on Saturday, with supporters of the LGBT community welcoming each other with open arms.

Oxford Castle Quarter and Paradise Street were transformed into an arena of dazzling colours, with flags, banners and stickers flying all over the place.

And before the main celebrations began, Oxford Pride’s parade brightened a whole stretch of the city centre.

It was a reminder to the city of how important it is to hold the event each year.
