Out & About Love wins On Sat 15th July, the Island community came together in a way that has never been achieved before and showed that Love Wins here. The day started with an emotional and colourful parade through the heart of Ryde with Union street packed with well wishers. The positivity continued on Ryde Harbour Beach with top artists bringing everyone together through laughter and music. Speakers educated the crowd of the importance of Pride in the 21st Century and reminded us of places in the world that don’t enjoy the same freedoms that we do. Make sure you pencil in the date when announced into your 2018 calendar. Pictures by Nicholas Lowe www.visitilife.com 67
