There was plenty to be proud of as Pride arrived in Tunbridge Wells.
For the third time since 2017 members of the LGBT community and allies have taken to the streets and the Calverley Grounds to celebrate who they are.
Organiser Tyler Halliday said this year's Tunbridge Wells Pride was the biggest yet, even featuring a star from hit reality TV competition Ru Paul's Drag Race.
Mr Halliday, from Margate, said: "This is the first year we've organised a road closure as part of the parade. We were worried there would be issues with cars but everything went really, really well.
"We're thinking around 1,500 people came out. On the Friday we hired the Assembly Hall for a cabaret show with Charlie Hides.
"Next year's going to be even bigger we're hoping to extend the Assembly Hall to get more seats and will be booking out roads again too."
