Highland Pride's popular summer event will return on June 11, hosting a day full of speeches, live music, food, stalls and more.

The proposed march will take supporters from Falcon Square to the Northern Meeting Park, a venue secured by the help of High Life Highland.

The event allows members of the LGBT+ community and allies to celebrate each other and come together.

This year's theme is 'Rebel Rebel' inspired by a David Bowie song, who was a popular icon in LGBT+ culture.

It is supported by £10,000 in funding from The National Lottery Community Fund.

Highland Pride is an Inverness based charity that supports members of the LGBT+ community and promotes inclusion.

The last event was held in 2019, which drew a crowd of thousands to support the outing, one of the biggest pride events in Scotland at the time.

A spokesperon for Highland Pride said: "After two VERY long years we are delighted to announce plans for our summer pride event at the Northern Meeting Park in Inverness on Saturday 11 June.

"We’d love to see our LGBT+ community and allies across the Highlands and Islands, and Moray come together to celebrate with us because we have achieved so much, and love really does win. We also acknowledge there is progress to be made, social injustice is still a reality for many LGBT+ people - both here in the Highlands and across the world."
