A celebration of Dundee’s young people brought a splash of colour to the city centre on Saturday with the eighth annual Lord Provost’s Youth Parade.

The event, which was set up to provide a platform for the young people in Dundee and its twin cities, kicked off with a lively procession from Dundee High School to City Square.

A stage was set up there to showcase the wide variety of talented youngsters the city has produced.

The fun continued with stalls and musical and dance performances as well as races hosted by Sprint Dundee.

“The annual youth parade is a must-see event in the life of our city and we’re delighted to have such a positive response for participants in the parade from the youth of Dundee,” said Lord Provost John Letford.

“This event is a superb way to highlight the talent and enthusiasm of our city’s young people and the support they receive from the rest of the city.”

Before the parade got under way, Mr Letford helped to launch a youth council consultation.

Dundee Youth Council, which was set up in March, hopes the survey will reveal the views of young people in the city and give them a voice on a range of issues.

The youth festival celebrations concluded with a gala fundraising dinner in the Apex Hotel on Sunday night.
