The redheads of the world have unfortunately got a tough rap down the years, thankfully though in these mod'ren times the world is waking up to the sheer beauty of these auburn Gods and Goddesses.

Following on from the news that redheads would be getting their own emojis, there is now going to be a Ginger Pride Festival in England next year!

The organiser of the event is a 43-year old pizza delivery driver from Plymouth called Stuart Parry, who told the Plymouth Herald: "It's not going to be a 'we're gingers, we're different' event, we already know that, it's just a celebration."

He went on to say; "I wonder if we're approaching a time when bullying gingers is over. Being ginger has stopped being uncool, and people are seeing more and more positives about being a red head."

Damn straight, Parry! Just look at young Ed there above, delighted with life, so he is.

Parry plans on having "a capacity of about 150/200"  for the event, with the likes of science displays and live music, as well as a local celeb who will judge a 'gingerbread decorating competition'. Eh, we are THERE.

Parry has also said that it's good old-fashioned non-discriminative fun, so blondes, brunettes and whatever you're having yourself are also welcome too.

Although a capacity of about 150/200? Think you're going to need a bigger boat there Stuart.
