PHOTOS: Dublin Pride 2014

The sun shone brightly and an arguably brighter cast of thousands hit the streets of the nation's capital last Saturday afternoon for the 2014 Dublin Pride Parade.

Presided over by the one and only Panti - who had some choice words for the Iona Institute during a memorable speech to a packed Merrion Square - the parade proved a huge success, drawing an enthusiastic, noisy crowd.

We sent ace snapper Danielle Fox into the heart of the action. Check out her images from the day here.
