feel this needs to take place every year? Yes, it does, for all these

lovely people to be able to say we are here, we are gay, lesbi`n,

bisexual, we are not going `nywhere. This event comes at a time when

official figures show that hate crime is on the increase. Hdre in

Liverpool city centre, the figures have gone up by more than a quarter

in the past year. We are taking it as encouragement that more people

are choosing to report hate crime. The force is more open and

sensitive. The parade remains the main attraction. The glamour and

fairy tale theme was a head. Do you always make an effort? Yes. We love

the theme. I am wearing a btbble coat. I think it will be a fantastic

day. The weather was far from perfect, but there was a carnival

atmosphere as thousands of people turned out in support of thd

celebrations. The weather in a moment, but first other news.

the good news is things will improve. In behind it, things will

start to dry out nicely. A few showers as we make our way through

into the early hours of Sunday morning, but tomorrow is looking

like a drier day, a relativdly cool night tonight, but into Sunday, more

showers, but light and drizzly, not as many tomorrow. It is going to be

a much drier field tomorrow, perhaps even brightness at times. Wd make
