London Gay Pride

Costumed revellers and colourful floats wanded through London's streets on Saturday to celebrate the annual Pride Parade, the UK's largest gay and lesbian festival. The theme this year was fairy tales, myths and legends.

Numbers were forecast to reach 500,000, organisers said. Although the sun shone for much of the day, an outfit accessorised with an umbrella was always going to be a smart move.

Returning for every Pride Parade are feathers and of course tight small lycra swimwear.
