THESE are the colourful pictures of the south coast's fastest growing free festival.
Organisers have said up to 15,000 attended Southampton Pride on Saturday.
Photographer Scott Chalmers was out and about photographing the technicolour event.
Now committee member Danny Langrish-Beard has said the day was "fantastic" - but gave particular credit to city residents for their support.
He said: "The parade was massive and the crowds cheering us on as we went down the street was just awesome.
"It was nice having the city celebrating with us. It was fantastic.
"The response on the day was just amazing. A few people have said it was the best day of my life - and it's so good that something you have organised can affect people in such a positive way."
