The event began at 10:00 BST and ended at 20:00. Tower Gardens in Skegness hosted the Pride Park Stage, where Butlin's staff performed Iconic - a variety show featuring songs from artists including ABBA and Taylor Swift.

Thousands of people attended East Coast Pride in Skegness on Saturday, organisers said.

The event was held in Tower Gardens for its second year.

Trustee and event director Brad Johnson said it was a "truly spectacular day" celebrating "love, joy and inclusivity".

The community event included a main stage, a market place, a dedicated family area and an acoustic stage in Compass Gardens.
