Gallery: Dublin Pride 'biggest ever' as thousands take to streets

Organisers of the Dublin Pride Parade have branded it the biggest ever.

Thousands of people turned out at the Garden of Remembrance earlier before marching through the streets of the city.

The party is not yet finished, as the carnival is continues at Merrion Square this evening.

The parade is the pinnacle event in the 10-day Dublin P ride Festival, and its chair, Jason Flynn, is feeling extremely proud.

"It's without doubt the biggest we've ever seen," he said. "I don't even want to begin estimating how may people have taken part this year. It's huge.

"We arrived into Merrion Square at the head of the parade, and the last contingent hadn't left Parnell Square."
