The parade – which was the first of its kind to take place since the pandemic – marked the 50th anniversary of the first ever Pride organised by the Gay Liberation Front. Representatives from the organisation led the parade yesterday, which was made up of 30,000 participants from over 400 community groups.

The event was also attended by many famous faces, including the cast of Netflix’s Heartstopper, who were pictured confronting anti-LGBTQ+ protestors standing along the parade’s route.

Dame Kelly Holmes – who came out as gay at the end of last month – also attended, delivering a powerful speech to the crowd gathered in Trafalgar Square.

London Pride 2022 was the “biggest ever” in the event’s 50-year history
