The 50th anniversary of the UK’s first Pride parade was marked when the colorful procession returned to the streets of London.
Due to Covid restrictions, the annual event for the past two years has not been held.
Rafts lined Park Lane ahead of the main march through the capital, led by Gay Liberation Front (GLF) activists.
More than a million people are expected to flock to the city for the parade and accompanying celebrations.
More than 600 LGBT + community groups are joining the march, which will bypass key areas of the UK’s first LGBT + movement.
As part of what the organizers call the “biggest and most inclusive event in history”, there is a series of artists performing across four stages around central London.
