London Mayor, Boris Johnson, had a coming out of sorts on Saturday as he led the London Pride Parade on its annual march through London's West End. The event attracted huge crowds and was headlined by a rally and concert in Trafalgar Square.
Mayor Johnson hasn't previously endeared himself to the LGB community but in his new role he seemed keen to give the day his prominent backing, even if he did look a little awkward at times.
Pride revellers enjoyed unexpectedly fine weather and partying continued into the evenings with much of Soho closed to traffic.
Forthcoming Pride events in the South East will include Pride In Brighton & Hove (Sat 02 Aug) Soho Pride (Sun 17 Aug).
PROUD TO SERVE: OUR BOYS & GIRLS STEP OUT!
This year's parade saw the largest participation yet of serving gay personnel of the Army, Air Force and Naval Services along with the Civilian Services, the Met & London Fire Brigade. Civilian staff from all branches also took part.
Bring on the day when we can actually have the Band of the Royal Marines leading. Now that really would be a parade!
