Isle of Wight Pride — scheduled to take place this weekend — has been postponed due to impending adverse weather.
The news comes after a yellow weather warning was issued for the Island earlier today, as reported on Isle of Wight Radio.
A statement issued by IW Pride said:
"It is with a heavy heart we regret to announce Isle of Wight Pride, including the parade, will be postponed and not take place this weekend.
"With a yellow weather warning in place we have taken this decision due to safety concerns.
"We are working with supporters and sponsors to reschedule Pride weekend for 18/19/20 August.
"We apologise for any inconvenience but safety is of paramount importance."
