Warwickshire Pride was held for the first time in August 2013.^[1] In 2025 the County Council introduced a policy of only flying the county, Union and St George's Flag fly outside the council's Shire Hall headquarters, unless special permission is granted by the council chairman – Reform councillor Edward Harris. This ended the flying of the Pride Progress flag ^[2].
