THOUSANDS of people are expected to line the streets to watch Bournemouth’s annual LGBT pride parade.

The Bourne Free festival, which takes place from Friday, June 30, to Sunday, July 2, celebrates lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender culture.

The theme for this year’s parade is superheroes.

Starting at 11am on the Saturday, dozens of floats will parade from East Overcliff Drive, making their way through the town centre towards the Triangle.

On the Friday, a family fun night will take place in the Triangle, with a free, open air screening of The Incredibles.

The Irreplaceable Beyonce Tribute will perform afterwards.

There will also be a Sunday service, led by the Metropolitan Community Church at the Bourne Free stage in the Triangle, followed by coffee and cake at Flirt.
