This year’s Pride biggest yet, claim march organisers

Estimated 1.5 million people attended London parade

"I'm trying to be a walking piece of political art," said actor Billy Porter ahead of headlining London Pride. "Just as a human being, as an out black gay Christian man, my very existence is political."

The star of Kinky Boots and TV series Pose performed to thousands in Trafalgar Square on Saturday at what organisers claimed was the biggest, most inclusive Pride yet. About 30,000 people from more than 600 groups took part in the official parade through central London, which was attended by an estimated 1.5 million people.
