The streets of London were filled with color on Saturday as the U.K. capital marked 50 years of Pride.
A vibrant crowd of hundreds of thousands turned out to either take part in or watch the festivities, forming a spectacle of rainbow flags, glitter and sequins.
Saturday's procession took on a similar route to the original, starting outside Hyde Park and touring the streets towards Westminster. It was to be followed by a concert in Trafalgar Square. London Mayor Sadiq Khan hailed a"beautiful day" of"unity, visibility, equality and solidarity" as he joined in the celebrations.
Organizations ranging from charities to universities to the emergency services were also represented.
