Over a million people marching through central London yesterday made this year's Pride London event the biggest ever.
The Prime Minister's wife Sarah Brown showed her support by joining the colourful crowd, and the Prime Minister himself welcoming equality rights campaigners to the garden at 10 Downing Street.
He said: "This Government is committed to standing at your shoulders in the fight for equality and we are guided by one very simple principle when it comes to LGBT rights: you can't legislate love."
With the theme 'Come out and play', marchers included a wide variety of LGBT groups from around the UK and Europe, sports groups, bright and fluffy drag divas, gay political groups, and gym-goer marching boys.
The parade wound its way through the city, ending in a huge free concert in Trafalgar Square, featuring M People singer Heather Small, several openly gay TV presenters, gay comedian Stephen K Amos, and the cast of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert performing live.
