This year is the 50th anniversary of Pride, celebrating this community, celebrating the progress made, but also continuing to campaign and never be complacent."We saw this time last week an attack in Oslo just hours before that parade, where two people lost their lives and more than 20 were injured."So, we've got to be conscious of the fact that there's still a danger to this community of discrimination, bias and violence.

But allies like me are really important to support this community."Prime Minister Boris Johnson also hailed this year's events, saying in a statement: "It gives me the greatest pride to lead a country where you can love whomever you choose to love.

And where you can be free to be whoever you want to be."This hasn't always been a given, and certainly wasn't the case 50 years ago."Marching the streets in 1972 was an incredibly brave thing to do, and today will see thousands of people, friends and families once more coming together to mark the tremendous milestone of 50 years of our capital's Pride.".
