Hundreds lined the streets for Leeds’ first Trans Pride March this lunchtime.
Despite the rain, there was a huge march through the city centre which started at Leeds Art Gallery.
There were leaders from the trans and non-binary community giving talks to the crowd which was made up of people young and old. There were lots of banners while the group sang a serious of songs during the march.
They included ‘Whose street? our street’ and ‘When trans rights are under attack what do we do? Fight back’.
Jamie Fletcher, one of the event's organisers, said: "This year Trans Day of Visibility coincided with the first ever Trans Pride Leeds and to mark this momentous occasion we gathered together 200 plus trans and non-binary people & allies to march through our city streets. I’m so proud of our communities."
The event wanted to show the important role the trans and binary community play in Leeds.
