People come together for poignant candlelit vigil as Manchester Pride draws to a close
“We always say rest in peace. Why don’t we ever say live in peace?” Rarely has silence said more than during the minute’s remembrance at Manchester Pride’s annual vigil.
Manchester is a city that is unapologetically proud - and on no weekend is that said louder and more emphatically than Manchester Pride.
But there is power behind the party, and after four days of truly emphatic and joyful celebrations that have taken over the whole city, Monday night is reserved to remember and to grieve.
