@r4mole @TheSpurrShow Hi Cheryl, this lady is actually in Shetland — but perhaps as restrictions ease, folk there can visit #OrkneyPride next year! The piece in question is at timestamp 1:19:48 on globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/uk…, and the speaker seems to be be Kerrie Meyer. Hope this helps! — Amelia

@TheSpurrShow hi Richard - on your last LBC show, an amazing caller was in conversation with you.. she was called Ceri? and was talking about her life as a trans woman & was involved in @PrideOrkney Could you pos confirm her name AND when are you on next?! thanks cheryl

@Bonjour_Teddy @Emma_Roddick @BeaKenobi OH MY GOSH YES! I’m perhaps biased as a Committee member, but I feel it was so incredibly wholesome from start to finish, and had both a great presence, and amazing response by the public — the smiles on folks’ faces were just so incredibly heartwarming 💜 — Amelia

We were honoured to be visited by @Emma_Roddick, who is interviewed here at #OrkneyPride by our very own @BeaKenobi! #OrkneyPride2021

@Emma_Roddick @BeaKenobi It was so amazing to have you up here, and we’re really looking forward to seeing you next year — hopefully it’ll be a safer and more relaxed time, and we can have a bigger physical Pride march! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎉 It was amazing to talk work you, and hopefully see you next year! 🥰

@PrideOrkney @BeaKenobi So great to meet you all, you organised a great event in bizarre circumstances!

Finally, we have the Chair of the #OrkneyPride Committee, Diane, giving a farewell address from Orkney’s first in-person Pride event, which is the most northern Pride in the UK! See you all next year! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖🤎🖤 #OrkneyPride2021 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
