Themed, Pride In The City, it’ll be a day for the whole community to come together to celebrate diversity in their city. With local MPs and the Mayor in full support, it seems as though everyone’s pulling together for the event. </p><p></p><p>David Lee-Bastable, the chair of Portsmouth Pride says, </p><p></p><p>‘The aim of the Pride is to make it a fun day for all of the Portsmouth Community.
