The streets of London have been filled with color as the U.K. capital marked 50 years of Pride.
People take part in the Pride rally in London, Saturday July 2, 2022. The U.K. capital marked 50 years of Pride as a vibrant crowd of hundreds of thousands turned out to either take part in or watch the festivities, forming a spectacle of rainbow flags, glitter and sequins. After two years of cancellations because of the coronavirus pandemic, the parade came a half-century after Londons first march to celebrate Pride in 1972.
Saturday’s procession took on a similar route to the original, starting outside Hyde Park and touring the streets towards Westminster. The London mayor's office said that more than 1 million revelers attended the celebrations, which also included a concert in Trafalgar Square. More than 600 LGBTQ groups were expected to take part in the march, which was headed by members of the Gay Liberation Front from the 1972 protest.
The move came in response to LGBTQ campaigners raising concerns over their confidence in policing, in particular the quality of the police force's investigation into murders carried out by serial killer Stephen Port. In 2016,Members of the police force were able to join Saturday's march of their own accord.
