The headliners have been announced for this year’s Lincoln Pride event – and they are rather cheeky.
90s boy band 5ive will be joined by The Cheeky Girls and Lolly on the stage as Lincoln waves the rainbow flag.
Also on the lineup is Shena, Lopez Live, Danny Beard and a Demi Lovato Tribute.
Lincoln Pride takes place on September 29 between 11.30am and 7pm.
It will start with a parade from the city centre bus station in St Mary’s Street, featuring floats, musicians and group representatives.
Music acts start at 12 noon on Brayford Pool, hosted by Cherry Pops and Sordid Secret.
There will also be over 60 stallholders, including local and national charities and community groups.
There will also be family entertainment including musicians, games, a drag queen competition and activities, such as children’s face-painting.

Event organiser and owner of LGBT bar The Scene, Tom Mullins, said previously: “Last year, Lincoln Pride – which celebrates equality and diversity – attracted 5,000 people, including many from Nottinghamshire. They were all eager to be part of what is arguably the biggest event of its kind in Lincolnshire.”
“The parade will follow a route down Wigford Way, up the High Street and across Newland to finally arrive on the city’s Brayford Waterfront at noon.
“The Mayor of Lincoln, Councillor Keith Weaver, will then lead the parade to the stage near the old Barge on The Brayford, where he will officially open the event.”

Several residents have continued to vigilantly monitor the River Witham’s water levels, prepared with sandbags outside their homes as a precaution after Storm Babet damaged two sections of the riverbank. But, despite the looming threat, there is a prevailing sense of confidence among the community, suggesting that further flooding is unlikely.
News that a £165,000 improvement project on the Handley Monument in Sleaford will commence early next year has been supported by local residents, who feel it is a much needed addition to the town centre, but it hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism.
North Kesteven District Council unveiled its plans for the historic Handley Monument in Sleaford, with a view to improving the surrounding area and also lighting up the monument to attract more attention to its role in the town’s history.
