It's always an amazing moment to see all of the rainbow flags flying all over Dublin in honour of Dublin LGBTQ Pride, which culminates this weekend. 

Now, Dublin Bus is getting on board with Pride, and has rebranded some of their buses to reflect this. 

Dublin Bus has decked out some of their vehicles with rainbow stripes. 

The stripes sit alongside the slogan: 'Gen on board with pride.'

The wonderful move comes along with the announcement that a rainbow bus will be featuring in the Pride parade on Saturday June 24.

'We are delighted to support another year of Dublin Pride,' said Dublin Bus Chief Executive, Ray Coyne.

'Our commitment to diversity and inclusion stems from our Equality and Diversity strategy that was first introduced in 2003.'

'We are a diverse workforce serving a diverse community.'

What complete and utter legends.

Since the horrific Manchester attacks, events have been cracking down on their security measures. 

One which has been seen at recent events is a bag ban, where attendees are asked to leave their bags and backpacks at home. 

Dublin's LGBTQ Pride event this weekend is no different, so if you're heading along, listen up. 

'For the safety and enjoyment of all attending, An Garda Siochana and Dublin Pride request that Pride patrons leave bags at home on parade day,' reads a safety update notice.

'In line with standard protocol for all recent events, backpacks and large bags will not be allowed.'

'Only small bags measuring no bigger than A4 (8.27in/21cm x 11.7/ 29.7cm) will be permitted into both St. Stephens Green South and Smithfield Square.'

'There will of course be exceptions made for people with medical conditions and children, but for the sake of everybody’s safety, all bags will be thoroughly searched.'

'This is also an alcohol and drug free event.'

So if you're attending, leave the backpack at home.
