The Manchester Day parade, which celebrates the city and its people, is to return this summer after a two-year absence due to Covid-19.

Colourful parade puppets, music and dance groups will weave through the streets of the city on 19 June.

Councillor Pat Karney said the 2022 event would be dedicated to "children and young people who have missed out on so much during the pandemic".

The last Manchester Day was held pre-Covid in 2019.

Anyone who wants to take part in the parade and workshops can apply until 11 February, Manchester City Council said.

Mr Karney said the event was "a chance for everyone to show the world what Manchester is made of and celebrate kicking Covid goodbye in true Mancunian style".
All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
