  We were blessed, not with just fantastic weather, but a huge group who made up our walking party. The event started in Portland Place and ‘very’ slowly started moving down towards Oxford Circus with the final destination just beyond Trafalgar Square. This year ‘colour’ was the theme and we invested in some jade coloured T-Shirts with our logo and website printed on the front and back. To add to the ‘colour’ the LGBT Society of UCL joined us with their own specially designed T-Shirts. We were a group of about 70 and walking with our newly designed banner we looked like the real deal! It is amazing how 9,000 leaflets can be handed out without too much trouble! If just a tiny percentage of these leaflets find themselves in the possession of somebody who needs help, then how wonderful is that!
The crowds were amazing and the celebratory atmosphere was inspiring. I think there must have been about 70 of us in total so we made a pretty big impact on the proceedings – I think I blew myself silly with my whistle!! Roll on next year’s Pride. Written by Jackie Briggs
