This Saturday, June 29, thousands of people are expected to descend upon the capital city for the annual Pride parade.
The event aims to increase public awareness of LGBTQ+ concerns. Each year, London’s Pride festivities have a unique theme that aims to commemorate, empower, and inspire the LGBTQ+ community that gives the city its vitality.
The theme for 2024 is “We Are Everywhere”, which honours the influence and contributions that local communities have made to the nation’s capital.
