Over a million people gathered in central London on Saturday to celebrate 50 years of Pride
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said there was still a "danger" to the LGBT+ community of "discrimination, bias and violence", and warned against being "complacent".
Stephen Sanders said he "really missed Pride the last two years, obviously with Covid, so it's good to be back celebrating the 50 years", while Padraigin Ni Raghillig, who rode her Harley-Davidson at the front of the Pride parade as president of Dykes on Bikes London, said it felt "fantastic" to be back after lockdown.
All proceeds raised from commercial partnerships are reinvested into the LGBT+ community, such as through the Unity Fund which aims to build stronger communities by providing one-off grants to grassroots groups, organisers said.Picture: Alamy
