EuroPride 2003, held for the first time in the UK, has been declared the best ever, despite attracting far fewer than the 1.2m who descended on Cologne in Germany last year.
Robert Kastl, President of EPOA, the founding organisation for EuroPride, was glowing about Manchester's achievement. “This EuroPride has been fantastic, the best EuroPride so far. The Parade was the most colourful and artistic I have ever seen in Great Britain."More than 250,000 people attended the 10-day festival, visiting 150 separate events and raising £124,000 for HIV, lesbian and gay charities.
Visitors from all over Europe received a warm welcome with the Rainbow Flag flying from the top of the Town Hall (picture above), and the Greater Manchester Police distributing a very welcoming Europride Special magazine (picture left) all over the gay village during the Big Weekend.- What a difference today from 15 years ago when I first came to Manchester and marched through the streets against Section 28, said Actor Sir Ian McKellen according to several gay newspapers.
EuroPride started on the 15th August but one of the highlights was when the world’s longest Rainbow Flag stretching a quarter of a mile in length and weighing more than half a tonne was carried in the Key 103 EuroPride Parade on Bank Holiday Saturday August 23rd.

Colourful London and Manchester A colourful parade at Europride in Manchester Saturday August 23rd 2003.  |
During out UK visits August 1.-4th and August 20th-31st, we experienced Manchester and London as tolerant and diverted cities with a relaxed attitude towards people of different colour. Much more relaxed than what is the case in Oslo, Norway.

| Anti nazi skinheads We met these sexy skinheads in Camden Town, London. Observe the 20 holes white laced boots. Even though white laced boots is connected to neo-nazis, these boots are may be the most popular fetish in the UK leather scene these days. That is what we observed visiting The Hoist and The Backsteet in London and leatherclubs in Manchester. Bootdog tells us about a poll made at a [gay] skinhead website. "Something like 80% of respondents were of the opinion that white laces and braces are solely a fashion choice and not indicative of one's opinions on race. Upshot: feel free to wear white laces, but be aware that some people may come to the conclusion that you are a neo-Nazi."

Leather people in London also use different colours in their fetish outfit. Picture before the Europride parade in Manchester Saturday August 23rd 2003. One of the participants in the Rob section.  |
