Regent Street hangs Intersex-Inclusive flags to mark 50 years of Pride in the UK
In celebration of 50 years of Pride in the UK, The Crown Estate has commissioned a hundred Pride flags to hang above Regent Street.
Pride in London will commemorate the anniversary of 1972’s historic march by retracing its route during this year’s event. It will commence at Hyde Park Corner and end at Whitehall Place.
The route will see those participating pass historic LGBTQI+ sites in the capital, including Trafalgar Square, which was the terminus for the 1972 march.
The original march 50 years ago saw around 2,000 people march down Regent Street in London in the name of Gay Pride. Up to 40 members of the Gay Liberation Front had organised the protest, hoping it would serve as an antidote to widespread gay shame prevalent throughout the community.
