Pop star Alexandra Burke is set to headline the 10th anniversary of Pride in Jersey, a local LGBTQ+ organisation has announced.

Channel Islands Pride said the event would take place on Saturday 21 June, the longest day of the year, at People's Park with a "louder, prouder, stronger" theme.

UK and local performers are also set to perform at the event, which alternates between Jersey and Guernsey each year.

Its main stage will open at 14:00 BST following the Pride Parade, which will set off from Royal Square at 13:00.

UK performers Rhumba Club, DJ Woody Cook and drag stars Mercedes Bends, Paige Three and Sophia Stardust will be in attendance alongside local drag artists, the Jersey LGBTQ+ choir and artists Shea, Kingsy and disco-funk band Brick House.

Organisers said: "Alexandra's headline set will cap off a day of community celebration, world-class entertainment, and bold visibility for the LGBTQ+ community and allies alike."
