Dundee's first ever Pride festival will take place on September 22, organisers have announced.

The event which celebrates lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality (LGBT) will go ahead just a few days after the opening of the new V&A museum.

As well as a march through the city centre, the event will feature live entertainment, including local bands and acts, with stalls and displays from LGBT organisations.

Pride co-chairperson Tommy Small said: "We are delighted to finally confirm the date and venue for our big event, bringing Pride to Dundee for the first time.

"It's a huge year for the city and we're excited to have the V&A opening just a few days before Pride, it'll certainly be a busy week for Dundee!"

Dundee Pride attracted nearly 40 volunteers after a community consultation organised by Pink Saltire and Dundee City Council in October.

The group have now formed a voluntary organisation and hope to achieve charity status in the next few weeks.
