Pride London Parade: Our Pictures

Another great product from Cincopa Send Files. Cincopa video hosting solution for your website.

The first Saturday of July saw people of all sizes, age and nationalities come out in support of the 40th year of the Gay Liberation Front (GLF), painting the streets of central London in vibrant rainbow hues. The Pride London Parade was the final culmination of a two week festival that celebrated alternate sexuality with pomp and splendour.

Pride London describes the GLF as a group of “radical queens, hippies, students and activists who brought LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) rights out into the open”.

Revellers marched through the fashionable Baker Street, Oxford Street and Regent Street to reach Trafalgar Square, hooting, whistling, cheering and being cheered by the thousands who thronged the streets.

Such a riot of colours and umm..gay abandon surely challenges the ‘stiff upper lip’ stereotype attached to London town!
