Sunderland, Gateshead and South Tyneside join forces for a joint Summer of Pride Festival.

There day included a parade through the city centre followed by an event at West Park.

The event is subject to "personal and abusive" comments with posters being torn down, organisers say.

Gateshead Council used to give about £12,500 to Pride but Reform UK says it will end such funding.

Librarians are being told they can no longer promote events such as Pride and Black History Month.

Budapest's liberal Mayor Gergely Karacsony had been charged with helping to organise the banned 2025 march.

The couple tied the knot at Sant Ffraed House near Abergavenny surrounded by family and friends.
