Irish Premier Leo Varadkar says it's only a matter of time until there is marriage equality in Northern Ireland.

Speaking at the Pride Breakfast event he said " it was an issue to be addressed by the Stormont Assembly" but that it was an issue that people should not be threatened by or afraid of.

The Taoiseach made the comments during his first official visit to Northern Ireland.

Meanwhile the PSNI and Gardai are to march together for the first time in full uniform at today's Pride event.

Assistant Chief Constable Barbara Gray says today is all about inclusion.

Thousands of people are expected to take part in the Belfast Pride Festival Parade today.

The event marks the end of a special week of events across Belfast.
