10:15am: After a showery day yesterday, wet night, and grey morning, the skies over Wellington are expected to clear around midday, so Out in the Square's organisers have begun setting up their stage and stalls in Civic Square for this afternoon's LGBT family fun event. Kicking off at 12pm, the event will feature almost all the cast of entertainers originally lined up for yesterday's fair.
