PRIDE 2026, a day of celebration for Thurrock's LBGTQ+ community took place in the borough today (Saturday, 13 June).

Events began at the Wharf pub by the Thames riverside where there was a brunch and live entertainment ahead of a march along the river promenade to Grays.

Participants then strolled through the town's High Street before arriving at the Thameside Theatre where a stage had been erected in the sunshine and an afternoon of performances and entertainment followed.

The Pride flag was raised outside the town hall, despite the council's wishes!
