Awards were handed out at the glamorous Gaydio Pride Awards held at Manchester’s Hilton Hotel, which was hosted by Gaydio’s breakfast show presenters Paris and Dave, while performances came from chart-topping artist Raye, a set from dance-legend Sigala, and a show-stopping performance from Danny Beard, the winner of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK Season 4. Other famous faces included legendary writer Russel T Davies and incredible activist Peter Tatchell.

When it comes to the winners, so many inspirational names and organisations were honoured and quite-rightly celebrated on the night.
