UK Black Pride hosted its biggest event to date over the weekend as more than 25,000 people showed up to protest and celebrate.
The event, which was held at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London on 14 August, was the first to be held in person since 2019 after the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in 2020 and 2021’s being moved online.
The day saw performances from artists such as Emeli Sandé, Sadie Sinner and Gok Wan, with Dréya Mac delivering a show-stopping headline set.
Also present was Heartstopper star Yasmin Finney, who told GAY TIMES that the massive turnout made her “feel really humble”.
