In pictures: Thousands brave the rain for Dublin’s Pride parade

Thousands braved downpours in Dublin today to celebrate the city’s Pride festival on what is expected to be one of the busiest weekends since before the pandemic.

There was a mix of cultures and causes being championed. Rainbow and Progress Pride flags were dotted everywhere, but there were smatterings of banners and flags in support of Palestine and Ukraine. A troop of Samba dancers were followed down O’Connell Street by a large Brazilian flag, representing the large community here from that country. Others taking part pointed to the festival’s roots in New York protests 55 years ago.
