This year's event has been dubbed 'the biggest and most inclusive event in history', paying homage to the first march in London in 1972
Speaking to Sky News, Martin, who was at the original march in the 70s, said:"We've still got a fight to do and certainly a big fight internationally.
"If anything, it shows that what we're doing today is absolutely relevant... and you see the flags, you see the rainbow as you see this joyous expression of being gay. All the money raised from the commercial partnerships will go to straight back into the LGBTQ+ community, organisers say, with the Unity Fund, which provides grassroots funding for community projects, being one major beneficiary.
"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.
