CORNWALL Pride will be celebrated with a difference this Sunday in what organisers are calling 'the only online Pride on tour in the world'.

Those behind it say it was born from the idea that Pride "should come to you, especially in one of the most rural places in the UK".

A spokesperson for Cornwall Pride said: "In the midst of this pandemic all our communities have gone through so much, it's time to focus our ability to be together.

"Pride is there to bring everyone together, through the locations and representations of everyone right here in Cornwall.

"We are following guidelines, we are social distancing, we are washing our hands and we are when required wearing face masks, but we are streaming live from 18 different towns across Cornwall online across YouTube, Facebook and other platforms to your home on Sunday from 5.30pm.

"This has not been seen anywhere in the world and no one has ever attempted this type of project for Pride! So, this year we are doing it and doing it now with this extra Cornish twist."

That will include Cornwall Fire & Rescue – 'the Pride Responders' – taking their Phoenix fire truck to each location to present Cornwall Pride Unleashed across the whole of Cornwall.
