This is one of my favourite annual events. Recently featured in the Lonely Planet guide to the best gay pride celebrations in the world, the Dublin LGBTQ Pride Parade was expected to attract record crowds and it certainly did attract a lot pf interest from visitors and locals. The parade started from the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, at 1.35pm, before heading down O’Connell St, crossing the Liffey and then ending up at the specially constructed Pride Village at Merrion Square.
