Avon & Somerset Constabulary’s new Police With Pride car was unveiled by the force’s LGBT+ group.

The design work on the car was carried out for free by Think Image based in Filwood Green Business Park.

Also more colourful than usual recently was the Wills Memorial Building at the top of Park Street, which was lit up in the colours of the rainbow to support Pride:

Costa on Union Street will also be serving colourful coffee over the Pride weekend.

The technique to create the rainbow flat whites were taught to five members of staff by Instagram star Mason Salisbury, who was flown into the UK from Las Vegas.

“Bristol Pride is such an incredible event and I’m thrilled that I get to be a part of it by serving our rainbow coffees,” said barista Jamie Morgan.
